What you say makes sense, Steve. But I don't have to like it!
I have a pile of rifles, many of which are "too nice to hunt with" but there are more setting beside them which aren't- more than I need for the amount of hunting I do anymore. I take pride in ownership and that's enough of an excuse to keep buying them. They all get a turn at the range now and then but mostly they sit and look pretty.
And I agree with you. There's no need to stop buying them. You appreciate their beauty and have that sense of pride. I have a few rifles here that I only take to the range as well, but like you said, they mostly sit and look pretty. This is the fanciest stock I take hunting.
