[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3741947, member: 35036"] I want to say that it was New Zealand or England or something where you could only own a certain amount of long guns. How they get around that law is with switch barrel platforms. It kinda got me hooked on the idea. You could theoretically have all your rifle needs taken care of with a rimfire action, a short action, and a long action where you could switch up calibers geared towards what you’re shooting. While the initial cost is high, the long term savings and familiarity of using the same optic and stock for everything is appealing. All of my current optics are different. So there’s different learning curves for every one of my rifles in terms of the optic, the ballistics, how the rifle handles, and how the rifle functions. While it keeps things interesting, it’s not optimal. There’s definitely something to be said about the classics, which I love and respect, but the modularity we are seeing in firearms nowadays is a great thing to take advantage of. I feel like so much of the industry is driven by trends, and as my tastes/needs get more specific, it becomes harder to find something that works for me. Too much tactical, too many bull barrels (which I love for many things), too many crappy plastic stocks. Everything is built to a price point, or just gets really expensive/crazy from the get go. It’s hard to find a good middle of the road. [/QUOTE]
