I understand.

There are times that I wonder why I’ve put myself through the things I have, fretting over many different rifles. The practical side of me understands that I could’ve done everything that I do hunting-wise with about 2-3 different ones. Sitting smack dab in the throes of middle age, I find myself gravitating back to the rifles I admired so much as a kid, and I’m sure they’ll be only the ones that I have left when I’m done.
