Re: Some people just don't get it.....
I basically bought and shot what I could afford to buy and feed.Being a southpaw,I was limited to buying right handed rifles,until I could afford Lefty firearms.Today I went to the 5 stand range with a 100 year old winchester 1897 12 ga.I found it in an attic of a customers house.Last time it saw daylight was 53 years ago.It ain't the pretty,but it's a piece of history,with a good story behind it.
I love almost any firearm and have stainless and blued rigs at hand,depending on the weather conditions I might encounter.Going sheep hunting ? Try carrying around that heavy barrelled pea shooter all day.Bear country ? That 6.5 x 20 scoped,29" barrelled rifle will make a good walking stick and will be all but useless after a day in the field with me.You ever see a grown man cry after seeing his grade 5 european walnut stocked weatherby 300 mag with an S+B scope,tumble down a rock face ? It aint pretty.I have alot of rifles,shotguns,handguns,bow,muzzleloaders and almost everything in between,but I don't look down on a shooter,or snub them because of the cost of the firearm he or she owns.I was there myself not too long ago.
