I haven't bought a centerfire rifle in years and not a new one in decades. That said I have a pretty good selection that I randomly choose from. An example is my 9.3x62 that has been hunted once in 2002 in Africa. A couple of years ago I took an FN Supreme 30-06 that I bought twenty years ago on its first outing to Namibia. Next year I will be heading to northern BC (deferred from this year) for goat, moose and elk and will be taking a M700 I had rebored decades ago and was last hunted in SW BC on grizzly and black bear circa 2008. I just like the random use of what I own. One thing I do not do much of is chase the latest in powders. I have a load for each of what I own and continue to use said load.


Conduct is the best proof of character.
