I am not a person that buys a ML to just target shoot with. I am not a person that leaves any MLs at home in my gun safe every year. All my centerfires (2) and muzzleloaders guns (3) are shot during hunting season. Otherwise I see no sense in buying more than I can use during muzzleloader season.

I usually hunt around eight of the 15 day centerfire rifle hunting season. But I'm not buying eight centerfires to bring a different one into the woods every day. The drive to my hunting spot is 180 miles and I depend on someone else for housing there.

If my hunting partner ever quits the sport or dies someday, I'll have two centerfires collecting dust in my gun safe from inactivity.

So does that mean I can never have too many centerfires too? Our country is never under siege - or at any civil war. A vast majority of our country's adult population owns 1-2 rifles and a pistol....... that's it. I find it ridiculous to ever own more than several-combined of centerfires, shotguns, MLs and pistols. Seven is the number I own and my friends and neighbors think I have too many.

This is a gun board where hoarding, buying/selling and collecting exists. But then there's the other 95% of the population that owns 2-3........ total.

I may get my arsenal to 9 someday. I want another pistol (9mm or .38)..... want that 4th ML someday too..... probably a 45-cal in 1:20 twist.

No.... I'm not debating this subject. I'm done here.
