Disclaimer: The above is not holy writ. It is just my opinion based on my experience and knowledge. Your mileage may vary.
Want and need are two different things. You should never go into debt for something you want and be careful doing it with what you need.
I’ve always found it easier to make decisions on what I want to buy rather than what I am willing to sell. So I guess I have a lot more than I need.
I don’t have a lot of pairs of pants. I’m sure I have more guns than pants. I never thought about it that way before. Does that mean I’m addicted?
a 150-200$ scope will last you 10 years when taken care of.
150-200$ is considered a normal DATE cost in a city like Chicago or New York.
a typical engagement ring costs as much as a super grade model 70
My WANTS are 2 categories.
1) Every caliber I don't yet have, with 5,000 rounds practice ammo each. and
2) A woman that doesn't talk.
3) I know, there's no such thing as # 2,...so I'll take # 1.
Seems like this started more as guns and loads but has drifted to many other things. Robert Craft didn't need to visit a message parlor. He just wanted to........
Back to guns. I enjoy using heavier loads in my cast guns.
I acquired what i need a while ago and have been on the want side of things for along time. Once i get that one gun i can't do with out i run across another that i just have to have and on and on.
