Nahhhh.... I'm not planning on it. I'v'e got a rifle for most every game species in North America. Probably got the varmints covered too. Don't need another rifle, that's for sure. But I have been kinda wanting another 223. A guy might find a good deal on one with the ammo shortages and 223 ammo being in the forefront of that shortage. And I've got a ton of 25-06 brass... lotsa 4831 and RL19... shame to waste it. It'd be nice to have a rifle to get the good out of it. And somebody on the Campfire said that if I got a 6.5 Creedmoor my old bald head would grow enough hair to make a man bun... might be worth a try. But, no... I'm not planning on another new rifle...

Probably - have a couple of new muzzleloaders I just ordered and will probably hunt with one next fall. Another one - not an entirely new rifle, but a new barrel and cartridge on an existing rifle are at the gunsmith now...

I have a Defiance anTi ordered, with a Bart carbon wrap sitting here waiting. Also have a zermatt origin sitting at my ffl waiting to get picked up and a lilja on order. So yes! New rifles for the upcoming season.
Are you part of the problem or part of the solution?

Nope. I got tired of spending too much time and energy messing with gear. Decided to spend more time in the woods scouting, exercising, and generally doing things outdoors I like to do instead of tinkering with equipment. Best decision I've ever made.

I'm sure I'll end up with one or two by then. I actually just impulse bought a Marlin 1893 30-30. Saw it on Armslist and had to have it. Didn't even think it over. But I don't really need it and it may end up as trade bait for something I really need

Yes.
I'm having a Contender action job being done right now, and I ordered a 20" threaded 30-30 barrel for it.
I'm going to set it up with a youth stock and a Weaver Grand Slam 4.75x for my son to use with a Gemtech Tracker on it.

No, I'm all set. Maybe a SxS for the uplands.

No. I picked up an 270 win and 30-06 on left hand versions and am set. I dont have a need to change hunting rifles like folks change underwear. Now if Kimber started making left hand rifles then yeah, Id be on one like flies on stink.
Im really wanting to see what that 30-06 does with 200gr Partition as a one and done for everything type load. The older i get i hate to mess and change things and if i can get a nice heavy to work im happy. When i need to go lighter im trying a 270.

No, but I've got a 700 .223 waiting on a barrel right now and I usually run across something at one of the pawn shops every once in a while. Pickin's have Ben kinda slim lately.

I plan on a new rifle by the end of the month. Maybe even 2..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I bought two this fall. Can't find bullets for one of them. If I buy another it will be chambered in something I'm already prepared to load for.
