[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1586355, member: 97414"] Same for me,,, I was born and raised on the family farm,,, lots of gopher and beaver hunting with a single shot 22 rimfire,,, then graduated to my grandad's 30-30,,, my first time big game rifle for the heavy weights was a British Lee Enfield 303 ,,, I used it for 4 years before I had enough money saved up to buy a brand new Midland 30/06,,, it took up a few more years before I bought a 4 power Weaver scope,,, every thing before that was iron sights. I didnt know it at the time,,, but this was the begining of an adventure that would take me into the vast expanses of buying and selling of lots of firearms,,, lots of old time diamonds with a selection of of hunting rifles and hand guns,,, I call it the house full of to much,,, Ha. I always had my 3 main big game shooters and my 2 hunting partners stayed with their 1 gun ideas,,, it was all they needed,,, purhaps this was the first glimpse into the """Less is More""" thing... My collect Sloooooowly thinned down over the years,,, a few years after that I pretty much give up on rifle hunting and took up my main passion for hunting,,, archery,,, it was the best thing that ever happened,,, big game hunting up close and personal,,, there ain't no going back to long distance stuff after this learning curve,,, even when I returned to the rifle stuff. I picked a budget rifle when I got back into the sport,,, but I'm set in my ways,,, so I changed things up since my situation in life allowed for this,,, if this wasn't the case,,, I'd still be using the frugal unit since it was a good hunting and plinking rifle. If the chips in life delt me a different hand,,,.I'd probably still be using the old iron sight 303 British since they have a track record of of lasting for ever. [/QUOTE]
