[QUOTE="Cold Smoke, post: 3648771, member: 44374"] I pretty much represent every side that’s been stated this far. I have the old .22 single shot Remington that my grandad bought for two bucks brand new. My dad learned to hunt with it and I used to toddle around the squirrel woods behind him before I could really walk. Still have my Browning SA22 that was my first when I was four. Must have run a freight train of cartridges through that one. I been getting high on burnt powder for as long as I can remember, well over fifty years. Wasn’t until I got married that parting with a weapon for any reason ever crossed my mind. Problem with generations worth is ya just can’t use them all unless you’re Jerry Miculek. I’ve watched the stock market run like a roller coaster, but steel and wood just kind of hangs in there. That video here while back about the new Remington shows that guns that weren’t that special forty years ago shine in a whole new light these days. My wife has a hard time wrapping her head around the notion that the guns that were on me for the last twenty or thirty years are too nice to carry now and I have to go buy some new expendables, without getting rid of the old ones. They’re too valuable and just going up ya know. Dang modern problems... [/QUOTE]
