[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3889979, member: 35036"] Eh, yes and no. Yes because I’m a few instances I’ve had to buy and sell one or two guns to finally find what I wanted, which tended to be a more expensive gun. But overall, no. So with me I’ve only really owned/actively shot firearms for the past 15 years of my life. Buying some of the cheaper/mid grade stuff has allowed me to have guns for any situation I may need them, and has allowed me to figure out what I like. Now that I own the “field grade” stuff that I can use and abuse, I know what I want when dropping good money on nicer stuff and will also appreciate it more. It also allows me to have “loaner guns” when a buddy comes hunting that doesn’t have the right gun for the job. But, in the same token, I kinda wish I bought into modularity when it comes to center fire bolt action rifles. If I started out with a custom action and high quality stock, slapped a top of the line optic on it, and then just bought bolt faces and barrels for the calibers I needed as I went I would have a much nicer setup for way less money. Instead, I have a handful of ok/decent rifles with different stocks, that I’ve had to purchase accessories, optics, rings, muzzle devices, etc for; and have to be mindful of that change with every rifle, rather than having near identical ergonomics and a single optic.
