3. I cant remember if I sighted in a specific gun or not.

4. I don't remember where I got a specific gun from.

5. I buy an item for shooting or hunting, put it away, and then forget about the item. And buy it again and have two.

6. Despite knowing where an article is going about a gun, I still read it.

7. I never have enough.

8. I regret every rifle that I have ever sold. I remember all of those.

Is my mind going or is this something that has happened to you? smile

Have new forms of evidence? Post them...







All of that PLUS...

I have actually raised the bed when I ran out of space in my three safes.

I have three heavy rifles, one recently purchased, knowing I'll never get back over to Africa again to hunt dangerous game.

I have one full drawer full of scopes, some ok and many Klunkers.

I have about 15 dies sets for rounds I have no use for...no guns chambered for them.

I use my grandson as rationalization for buying more rifles and shotguns.

I still prowl the board for more "good deals", as if I need anything.

I can no longer fool my wife with "oh, this old gun?? I've had it for years".

My gunsmith sends me get Well cards if I have the slightest sniffles.

I have several guns on order from Germany, one I forgot I ordered two years ago.

My tally of guns just passed my wife's tally of pairs of shoes. crazy

How about, literally, acquiring every necessary component (I'm talking everything - action, Lothar barrel blank, dies, GS Custom bullets, stock blank, Kynoch ammo for testing, chamber reamer, and head-space gauges) for a 318 Westley-Richards build, lining up a top-notch 'smith, and then abandoning the project only to move on to a 9.3x66 Sako build because it ended up making more "sense" and was less obscure?

Add to this list:

You have a general hunting rifle or one you rarely shoot that just won't shoot well (accuracy is not THAT important), so you do one of the following:

Option 1: Trade it in for a new (or another) rifle. Net cost - about $500.

Option 2: Keep buying and trying new alterations (new stock, fiberglass bedding, new scope, new trigger, new barrel, etc.) until you realize that you've spent $1,000+ and it may or may not be a tack-driver. Even if it is, you still only shoot it occasionally.

I lost all my guns in a boating accident
