Hmmm…..this sounds very familiar in my house as well!

Yeah, the story of my life.

Oh, look a gun. Oh, sh*t, but I'm broke.

Yea...and the older I get...the more I want expensive high quality guns instead of just buying your typical factory rifle....

Me too. Not necessarily expensive, but top quality.

While I agree that “top quality” is the goal not “expensive”, what I tend to deem “top quality” usually tends to be expensive. At least when compared to the standard factory rifles that I used to buy when I was younger.

Hahaha cries in empty wallet amidst pile of guns

Exactly lol. This place has helped me separate a lot of my money from my bank account.

Gee Sue, maybe hat could be your next book!

"Cries of the Empty Wallet"

I think that it would sell to AH members. Oh, the cruel pinch of want!

 

[kdenn]

We could start a Guns Anonymous. However if there are dues I can't pay this month, have a new rifle on order.

Oh my gosh Doug! That made me laugh out loud. Yes, it would be a LONG book...even longer than Cries of the Savanna. LOL.

Buying more gun is saving money lol

Joining this forum has been the single worst financial decision I ever made.
But finances aside, it is also one of the most enjoyable and enriching places I have discovered.

You have the same thought process as my husband!

This made me laugh out loud. I’m glad you are enjoying the sight even though it is costing you a lot of money!

Never cross the threshold and start building your own "high quality" guns.. That depletes the wallet faster than anything..

I cant tell you how many rifles I've invested $2.5-$3.5K into at this point.. that would probably retail for $1.5K once they are finished products lol...

Financially I would have been better off just buying a really nice factory rifle to start with..

Lot of truth there.

I just am at the point that I love having my rifles hand built just for me by people that are super focused on accuraccy.

My latest rifle is a Pre-64 Model 70, pulled the stock and barrel off, had a custom Carbon Fiber stock made by Brown Precision (Mark Brown is great) and Mark put on a match grade barrel. The action is blueprinted when the new barrel was installed. Total cost was $3600 (built on my action). I sold the original stock and barrel and got a little money back on that but still a lot more than walking into Cabelas and buying a Model 70 Classic with CRF.

I just am at the point that I have sold most of my "factory" rifles. And won't buy another. I don't care what the resale value is because I will use my current rifles till I die and then they are all going to my son anyway.
