I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.

i just can't help my self! Nothing wrong with it, if you are getting a good deal. If not, you seriously need some help. I only buy rifles in good shape and great deals. Maybe set your bar to a higher level? I also would not buy a Remington ADL. Just not my cup of tea. Just something to think about: Is that recent ADL, you bought, in excellent condition and did it cost you $200? Nothing wrong if that is the case..
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

No problem. I just want one of every model, from every manufacturer, in every caliber it was ever offered in. See you are not alone.  As long as you're not spending the mortage money and such, or are buying bad deals, there is no problem. IMHO

Patience. It'll fade of its own accord, but likely to be replaced by equally addictive stuff - pistols, shotguns, target rifles. It's an addiction caused by an imbalance of gunpowder in our blood, something not shared by the wretched souls who don't know the joys of smelling a freshly fired paper shot shell, the aroma of Hoppes, or the comforting heft of a rifle in their hands.

Once you have a 7mm or .308 caliber rifle, no-one will ever be able to show you any animal in the lower 48 that you are not adequately armed for.
It really is that simple.
When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.
