Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles I'm sick of the addiction

Here in Oz, the legislation has been my cure ... can only motivate so many calibers on an open license. Decide on a rifle battery that works for you and you will use them all with no safe queens. Eye opener for me was when I sold rifles I had never even made the effort to go and shoot..

22LR,22Mag,6.5x55,280AI,338WM,375Win,450-400 is my almost perfect 7 rifle battery (dont have them all yet).Within these 7 is over 15 configurations of finishes, features, calibers, brand etc that I wanted.

Would love to know what your 7 rifle battery from your stock pile would look like! list them for us!

I don't see where you or anyone else who has responded to your thread has a problem......me included!!

Just start looking at Old S&W Revolvers! Once you pick up one nice Pinned and Recessed or Hand Ejector you will really be done for.

It's all fun and games until they shoot how you want.

Rifles aren't all that bad.. Trouble comes when you add shotguns, and handguns to the addiction!!

You know you're in trouble when handguns seem like a good idea because you won't have to spend more on optics and ammo in a new caliber.

Let's see first it was shotguns and about 30 cases of shotgun shells. Then came reloading for rifles which I bought 8 different calibers and over a 100 pounds of powder and no telling how many boxes of bullets. Then came the pistols and Dillon progressive press. Then I bought two smokeless muzzle loaders and a swing lock die to shoot them sabot less. Then I started buying Winchester pre 64 M70's then pre 64 M70 fwt's Then decided to get into suppressors and rifles with threaded barrels. I have only sold one shotgun and two rifles and am keeping all the rest. Am I sick nope my wife thinks I'm bored. Ricky
