[QUOTE="6.5x300 WBY, post: 1581858, member: 89150"] FIGJAM I have to say yes I do for multiple reasons. I am older than you 49 and as I get up in age I am finding myself thinking what I am going to do with these guns. My wife doesn't hunt and just shoots with me once in a while. I have one daughter that doesn't hunt but enjoys trips to the range. But if I didn't ask her to go with me I dont know if she would even ask me to take her. So here is why I agree with you on sentimental feelings towards our guns. I lost my brother just over 2 years ago to pancreatic cancer as he passed away just after his 50th birthday. He was the one who got me Into hunting and shooting. I remember hunting PA with him and extended family and how I enjoyed it so much. Needless to say I got to pick some of the guns he had and they mean so much to me. Every time I open my safe and see his BDL30-06 or his TC contender handgun in 223 it makes me remember the good old days together. I try to see into the future on how it will go with my guns. If and when my drug gets married and her husband is a hunter i can see most all my collection going to her for him to use. But yes I do hold more sentimental feelings to my guns and only hope it will make them remember me whenever they get pulled out of a safe. [/QUOTE]
