Over the years I have accumulated guns that have sat in my safe and been either collecting dust, or very seldom shot. I have come to the point in my life { retired & 67 years old } that if I can't enjoy a gun, why not sell it for one I can. For awhile, now I have been leaning more toward S/W revolvers, for one reason due to the fact I've had shoulder surgery, and shooting big bore rifles is probably history for me. I reload for several calibers, so that helps soften the blow financially with ammo. All in all, if I am searching for a particular gun, and I have something that is expendable , well, I try my very best to make it work for me .
