Why, why, why?!

[Clem Bronkoski]

I have 3 large safes full of rifles, along with 3 shotguns. My rifles consist of everything from 17HMR to 300 WM in calibers from .22, 6.5mm, 7mm, 30, 35 and 45 and about a half dozen muzzleloaders in 36, 45, 50 and 58 calibers. All these plus maybe 10 handguns of different chamberings.
I have more guns than I know what to do with so why do I keep browsing looking and buying more. I'm an addict too, or should I say a fondness for old lever rifles, especially those with obsolete chamberings. And besides the lever rifles I found myself starting to collect and shoot single shot rifles. I mean I love shooting precision rifles that will shoot the gnats off a flys butt without breaking the skin but those old rifles are dear to my heart. I guess its just the nostalgia thing. Same with a finely made SxS shotgun.
Is there a cure for this addiction or am I going to have to buy another safe?

That sounds like a bad addiction. It's time for some group therapy.. Quit looking at the ads and just go to the range and shoot some groups.
Right now I have to find that thread with some pistols for sale. It's OK, I can quit at any time.

I see another safe in your future. lol.

Build a "safe room" sell the safes and bingo no worries...

No cure until you run out of money or have your husband/wife leave you. My FIL has bought and sold over 1,000 firearms. He is a true addict. Really pees me off when he buys a fine firearm and tells me that he is keeping this "One". I tell him to notify me if he does want to sell. He never does and sells of trades it.
Maybe for the best so that I don't keep adding to our collection.
We have many firearms that we never shot---just want to look at them if they are a classic or rare!

We could use you to cut some big pine trees next to our home!!!

 

[ripcurlksm]

Hey as long as you have all your 401k and retirement savings maxed out, buy as many guns as you want! Heck throw a bunch of custom folding knives that youll never use into the mix too!

I would love to... it's a bit of a drive to Georgia from Oregon though. I've played with some big ones...when the helicopter can't pick them up and you can't buck them any shorter, then the ripping begins

They say the first step is admitting you have a problem. The second is doing something about it. Since I don't have a problem, I'll be doing neither, but don't tell my wife!

As long as it's not causing marital problems or financial issues, keep on having fun. Lol I know this will probably catch some flak here but guns are a cheap hobby in the grand scheme. My family does high level drag racing, so enjoy the lever guns because your addiction could be worse
