Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Why do you change rifles?

[quote=jwall]It’s cheaper than changing wives. LOL

Variety, looks. Versatility, Specific purpose et.al.

Similar to wives. Grin

Most answers fall into one or more of the above reasons.

More specifically for myself.

I never paid attention to rifle WEIGHT <until> 1981 or 82 and the Win 70 xtr (actual) Featherweight hit the market
along with the Ruger 77 UL in 20" bll. THOSE pushed me off the slope and I SLUD for a number of years.

Also whenever Rem brought out the NEW Model Six I loved the beauty.





*** mind you I didn't buy them all at one time or w/in 2 years. ***

one of the Sixes is 6mm Rem, 1 is 270 Win, & 1 is 30-06 (1 is 270 now belongs to my Son)


In 2003 I bought the First Tikka T3 Lite SS I ever saw. LIGHT, LIGHT>



270 on R, at the time I didn't know 'how' new the T3 Lite model was.

7mm RM on L came along in 2018

Altho I really like good Walnut & Blue
Composite & SS win the day for practicality. Blame Skeeter Skelton for that.

AS someone else said, Guns/rifles ( shooting, & hunting) was my ONLY hobby for many years.

I do like variety. That's as concise as I can be.
