[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1101203, member: 30671"] It's a matter of the parameters (style) as to the benefits a particular firearm system offers. You aren't a long range shooter/hunter, and a large heavy system doesn't suit you. You've had a couple of threads that focus on shorter, lighter, handier firearms. From here it seems your ideal might be a couple of "horse pistols" hanging from the saddle horn. Not a thing in the world wrong with that. I kind of like having multiple firearms, each as close to ideal for a particular circumstance. You like your particular set of circumstances, and unless you branch out, nothing needs to change. I had my Ruger #1A light sporter, at the range along with some other rifles, it looks odd sitting in the rack alongside the bigger rifles. It fills it's niche very well, but as ranges get farther, bigger optics are useful, heavier cartridges, heavier rifles, maintaining maintaining expansion velocity a little longer is a good thing. I have 2 sides in my safe, one has shorter, handier rifles, the other longer heavier. I like the choice and until we're regulated out of it I plan to have multiple firearms. [/QUOTE]
