I'm a animal specific gun kind of guy. I'm currently looking into an Alaskan hunt and researching different weapons. Frankly, my 06 is plenty to kill a moose, but it provides an oppurtunity to get a new gun with minumum interference from my better half. Why not buy guns specifically for the animals you hunt? .338rum for elk, 06 for deer, 25-06 for pronghorns etc? I have a 30.30 that I want to take a high country Muley with, just for the guns sake. I'm not a wealthy man, but I always can find enough in the budget for a new gun. Buy em up, get yourself a collection, go buy that .410 for your kid, go get that over-under 20 gauge for your pheasants, pick up that Ruger 10/22 for plinking, I have never been sorry I purchased a gun. Lottery tickets yes, plane ticket for mother inlaw definately yes, but never a gun. Regretted selling a few, but never purchasing one.
