[QUOTE="imyourhuckleberry, post: 2299874, member: 18206"] Thank you for your kind words, and you are correct that I do have my fetishes when it comes to spending money. Those fetishes are Cognac and Single Malt scotch. When it comes to paying several hundred dollars for a bottle I don't mind. I am of the philosophy of I have $300 in my pocket and the bottle costs $310 it is too expensive. If I have $400 in my pocket and the bottle is $395 it is not expensive. I retired at 56 from two careers one in the military and another from the medical field, retired young because I had to help with family emergency. My practical approach to what I do is what has kept me grounded and since I am not a competitor or professional shooter I stay within my constraints of my shooting abilities for what I do. I spent almost $3000 for a sharps rifle because I wanted it, and I understand that custom rifles have a niche and a role for its uses, after all rifles are just tools like a hammer and a saw, but man, some of those rifles are pieces of art I would not want to shoot because I am all thumbs.
