[QUOTE="Mr. Magoo, post: 2635544, member: 124360"] I have dollar limits I wont pay based on my principal of not supporting those who are gouging. It's definitely lower than some here are willing to pay. I will say that before any panic buying and price gouging, when pricers were normal, I shot a heck of alot more- but then again back then shooting in genearal was more of a hobby for me. These days I have different hobbies and hunting happens relatively cheaply for me since I have to save money for what I really like to do. I generally don't need to, but can still connect at longer ranges than most in my area but my gear and supplies were bought when it was cheap so I don't 'need' to spend alot of money to do what I need to do (and conversely also don't need to look like I have bottomless pockets to anybody). (I think $8500 for a rifle to go hunting with is insane but thats just me- I'd spend $20k on an engine if I was still racing and most will think that's insane) There's some guys who are just 'gear snobs', or long range hunting is just another way to show off their wealth, or a way to feed the 'more, better, faster' addiction. I get it. However there's a core philosopy of mine that all decent americans should be well armed and skilled (meaning practiced).The guys willing to pay $75 to 80 per pound of powder, and snatching up everything they can find is really hurting not only the 'sport' of long range shooting but also making sure the common folk don't have what they need and that hurts our country- especially considering the times we are in if you get my drift.
