[QUOTE="JungleBoogey, post: 1582134, member: 88809"] My history is that my Father and 2 of my 3 brothers were gung ho active duty military. We love guns and I love to hunt. When my father passed away and I inherited his Remington 700 BDL (270 win) and a 30 cal M1 carbine paratrooper (what a joy on the range), I was like a kid in a candy factory. In 10 years (optimistically), I will no longer be hunting. My 2 girls and my boy respect what I do but it's not their thing, so of course my thoughts are often on my gun collection and what to do with it while the choice is still mine. I have a few decent rifles to include the names of Tikka, Weatherby, Blaser and a couple of Zeiss and Bushnell scopes. I'm too sentimental to start selling them off now so the truth be known I'll probably die owning them. I can only hope that my family can get the money that they're worth when they sell them and that they smile about "Dear Ole Dad" when they spend it...
