When is enough,...enough?- Make the call...

U can never have to many guns.

 

I "invest" in precious metals. Steel, Brass & Lead
Better than money in the bank!

 

Curious, what scope did you mount on that thing? It looks like a Simmons by the magnification adjustment knob.

I'm a very bad boy, have a 7.5" same model on the way. I will need optics for it so I'm researching what holds up under the recoil. Any input is appreciated. JB

 

Congrats on purchase. Did you remind yourself how bad u wanted one with this thread? And is that the reason u just bought it!!

 

I like the "I dont sell guns I buy them". Me too. Maybe guns are like firewood all good just some better than others. ( also applies to to pizza , cigars and good whiskey but thats another thread for another day). Me I carry a glock gen 4, model 22 for my job ( you do the math ). On " my own time" really like my ruger lcp in my hip pocket in wallet holster.

 

I put my pistol box from when I bought my ruger mark3 22/45, on top of my safe.

I bought it maybe 11 years ago. It makes me sad to see the price tag of $229 on and think what it would cost today .

Also watched a video on youtube of the M1969 romanian trainer. The comments have them costing $260 today I paid like $50 11-12 years ago!!

 

Thanks, just have to keep it hidden from the wife for a while.
I started thinking about this while I was hunting this past season(s). Most of the areas were dense enough to not allow more than a 150 yrd. shot. And getting off work and getting a few hours in before dark could be accomplished easier with a hand cannon vs. a cased rifle. Just need optics and a comfortable chest holster.
Plus, always liked the .45LC. I'll shoot that 100:1 in the SRH Casull, makes a good defensive cartridge also. But when you need the "oomph", it can provide that in spades.

 

Each gun is like a new book. Wait................ I don't read much anymore. Each gun is like an.............AWESOME THING!!! Just have to make sure you have enough room in the safe or enough safes in house. I get a gun every year with points from Cabelas. Last year was a 458 limited production Winchester Model 70. One of 400 made for the 50th anniversary of Cabelas and is a special production run of the Model 70 to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Winchester. Made to reflect the pre 64 production model 70 down to the box.

 

You must buy a lot of crap a year to have enough points to buy a gun!!!

 

If you have their credit card and use it for other things it's not that bad. I did the same thing with Bass Pro points for years, every bill that I could get on a credit card (cell phone, cable/internet, car insurance, etc) I put on that card, paid it off each month, and could either get a gun or something else really nice at Bass Pro every year. I've since switched to Discover and Chase/Amazon cards though, they both offer better rewards.

 

Oh I was thinking g you had to buy in store, and Yea you get more points for that.

I do the same and just take cash rewards each year. I have a usa card and do the same run everything on out and pay it off. Now that we have a cabelas I might start doing that as well!!
