I’ve sold and/or traded off a lot of firearms for this simple reason. There’s a few I hold on to but it’s a short list. I guess the best way to describe it is like always wanting to know what’s beyond the next ridge!?

I’ll add that it’s not a pursuit of perfection for me. It’s a pursuit of curiosity. If it goes bang and an animal falls dead then that’s already perfection.


This sums it up for me. I like to try different rifles/scopes/equipment, shoot them, use them, see what I like/what I don't like. I enjoy using rifles and scopes.....evaluate the good/bad and see how they work out.
