I've been looking for a Winchester 94/22 magnum.
If you have one and sell it to me then I too shall quit buying any more guns.

I agree...
I also stopped buying guns...
7 pistols and 22 rifles ago...
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

VarmintGuy, I’ll tell you how to get over that affliction you seem to have developed. When the realization sets in we cannot climb the mountains and chase the mountain game, thoughts turn to selling out. Take up sporting clays. You can shoot as much as you have ammo for. As far as shotguns go, there is always something that you think you need. Your rifle/pistol collection would probably set you up with a really nice shotgun or five. You will meet a whole new group of shooter/ hunters in your age group.

I think the relapse rate for rifle loony addiction is right at 100%. Good luck VG. Sounds right. I know what my history has been. Lol. Not bothering with no resolution on it this year.

VG, I’m not at your age, but I know where your coming from. No more for me either. I no longer hunt but I enjoy shooting/sighting in rifles. If there was one gun that has my interest it’s Springfields SA-35. Sadly, I’ll never own it. I’m to busy upgrading or improving on the guns and scopes I have.
I hope these feelings change, but right now, I’m satisfied with my little collection.

JKTrapper73: Thanks for the well wishes - but my collection is so extensive I just can NOT take a chance on leaving it for the VarmintWife to "deal with".
Indeed its been a great run and I will have more fun making sure my favorites and my utilitarian guns get to good homes.
It's time.
And for others who have made this point, I already have suffered "relapses" in the past couple of years.
Long live the Second Amendment!
Thanks again.

I’ll be 75 in June and wanted to finance my sixth (and final) Safari to Namibia. So far I’ve sold two Super Match M1A’s, a cherry Savage 99F in .300 Savage, and a NIB Ruger Red Label shotgun in 20 gauge. I also gifted several nice rifles to my grandson via his dad (my younger son). For the first time in several decades I have room in my sixteen gun Treadlock gun safe.

I'm only 55 and I made the decision to begin selling this year. It's really not much fun being the curator of a museum no one comes to.

When Im 75 im gonna due what ever the heck I feel like doing. If I get the notion to buy a gun I will. Sell I will. Im not going to do anything I find hard to do that doesnt effect my health. Im not putting any restraints on my pleasures or passions after a life of balancing responsibilities and desires , work and play. Heck with that. But everyone has their own road they are on.
Life can be rough on us dreamers.

I started the same process a few years ago by buying less, trying to sell more but using smaller chamberings overall. No big magnums here anymore.
Ultimately, I'd like to get it down to 4 or 5 big game rifles, maybe less. I don't own a lot of other gun types so no issue there.
