And if its only about need, taxidermy is not a need. That would be silly.
Its never about need when it comes to rifles or handguns. Even if it was a need for a rifle, we would all be shooting cheapo savages and tikka's. Hense, the reason I kill 95% of my animals by stick and string.
Some like quality machining. Like I. Some like, you might like medeocre whatever. This is a guns page where we talk about "likes and wants". Not your needs.
True but if you start a need or don't need that would be a very long and very disputed list. Compound bows, tree stands, rangefinders, carbon suits, bdc reticles, etc. If you were talking to someone from the midwest about not needing a rifle to hunt you would get a funny look. Is it need or necessary?
