When my son and I see them going through the used gun racks we joke that they're stocking up for their estate sale
I’m 57 and still love my handguns and rifles that I started collecting in my late teens, that said…I still buy mostly older vintage rifles including many Weatherby mark V’s in all caliber’s and just looking at a 340mag to complete my collection. My question is when or at what age do I stop buying these guns that make me happy and give me a personal feeling of pride to know I have them.

We have multiplied our possessions but reduced our values.
