RE: Buy a new rifle disease
I think it was Jack O'Conner who said "...beware of a man with only one gun, because he'll know how to shoot it." Now,having only one gun seems pretty extreme, but the more guns you have the less time you can spend with any one of them. Lately, I've been shooting my 25-06 almost exclusively just so I'm a better shot with it. Of course, when I say exclusively,that dosen't count shotguns or pistols. Or .22's. Or blackpowder. Or lever guns (they're just too much fun to let sit). Or Black Guns (see previous reason).
