I’ve been really into guns and a collector of guns since I was young kid. As a kid I daydreamed about being old enough to go to deer camp and loved to read all of the popular hunting and gun magazines and dream about hunting this or that or having a rifle chambered in something that I read about.

Collecting more guns than I need is about the fun, appreciation of and emotional satisfaction of owning something that I spent countless hours about as a kid dreaming of having and fascinated by. It also doesn’t hurt that I appreciate them all for different reasons. I’m a sucker for a nice piece of walnut but also like the utilitarian aspect of others. Ruger no 1’s and others remind me of reading articles by my favorite author as a kid Ross Seyfried. 7x57mm reminds me of Bell and many others as well as being a cartridge that influenced our 30-06. The 30-06 reminds me of... and on and on.
