I definitely know what you mean at 48.
My best friend retired a little over a month ago.
He knew guns “backwards and forwards” as the saying goes.
We talked about guns nearly every day and did our fair share of tradin’ and such.
Most of the guys I work with own guns and several of them hunt but they don’t “know” guns like my buddy did.
He and his family have now moved to Colorado. He bought a 1956 Winchester Model 70 right before he left in 30-06.
He sold me a nice Smith Model 15 to help finance that purchase.
Sure miss him.
