RE: User or collector?
James,
Your self discreption pretty much fits me to a tee. I recently traded off a Cooper varminter in 22-250 that had on occasion shot .0" groups. It was a true 1/4 incher all day long. Why did I trade it, you might ask. Because I was ready to move on. There are only a few guns that I own that I consider "untradeable" My Browning a-bolt 280 (personal affection) and my grandpa's Sweet Sixteen.
OBTW, Been doing any P-dog shooting? I hear tell they are thick in your neck of the woods.
