why so addicting ?
 

it seems that guns in general are so addicting. i have enough right now but i seem i always want to buy another one in about 3 months after i just bought one.
i have gotten to the point that i just don't buy a ton and then trade some in in acouple months after i get tired with it.
now i try to buy quality not quantity. and i aslo try to buy a gun that will fit many needs in hunting and weather conditions.
next is a ruger deerfield carbine.

anyone else have these problems like i do?

RE: why so addicting ?
 

I have the same problem. I bought 223 then i wanted another gun so i got a 270 now i want a 7mm-08 then i will want a 7mm Mag. After that i will want many more guns. The cure is to buy one gun that'll do it all. If you reload it can happen.

Why work when you can hunt???? Heck why work at all!!

yep always need(a want .. another seems like.<img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle> Lotsa good reasons.
I dont know of one gun that would do it all tho , for me . have a contender i need more barrels for for sure.

I did price a ruger deerfird & a lever guide gun recently, but didnt buy iithr...yet.
So many choices- not enough safe space or $lol

Theres nothing like the feel of a finely tuned action in your hands, not to mention the ability to take game at long distances with incredible ease and accuracy. And the satisfaction of using a precision instrument to the limits of yours and its capabilities. Guns are just plain fun for a million reasons.

Beware of the person who only has 1 and knows it inside and out.....

Hurry up and wait.

RE: why so addicting ?
 

Never a need always a want, its usually the engravings on european shotguns that gets my blood humming.

But I must say I would be very afraid of a person with only one gun!

It just doesn't seem right.

RE: why so addicting ?
 

Tell me about it, it's always, &quot;but I don't have one yet.&quot; I have taken to buying the quality gun that has been neglected and through love and labor restoring it to pristine condition. To me it is just more satisfying to hunt with a gun that my hands brought back to life.

RE: why so addicting ?
 

I have been addicted to guns since I was about six years old .It only gets worse as you get older .LOL

RE: why so addicting ?
 

Quilly, **WHEW** I thought it was just me! I'm like you
know I don't need anymore, but I want a few more. I tell myself
I don't need it, but the want takes over.

I have to print this out and give to my wife as she thinks I am the only one like this that needs new toys. Love guns they are fun and addicting and the want will always outweigh the need. My 338 win mag is all Anyone would need to take anything anywhere in NA but thank God need isn't all there is and the want takes over. I want more too.

One of the local sporting goods stores is having a sale on all of their guns. I had to go in and look around. I found a Mosin M44 for $49 and decided that I always wanted one but didn't need one. I left the store without buying it. I went back yesterday to buy it, because even after allowing myself to think about it for a day, I still wanted it really badly.

RE: why so addicting ?
 

I always get into guns just before deer season. I just bought a rifle that I needed about like a hole in the head, just not sure what happens but its the same thing every year. I still want a Walter P99 and why? I have no idea, and my wife would really be frowning after just buying the rifle so it will have to wait I guess.

RE: why so addicting ?
 

Maybe we need counseling or a support group or something. If we call it an addiction then we could say it is a disability. The next step would be a gov't program, then maybe we could sue somebody and get big fat cheques.:)

skhunter, I thought this was a support group.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: why so addicting ?
 

I know what you mean. I am on a gun a month this year. All I need is three more and I will have bought 12 this year.

Wow, this is really sad, I think we need more than just a support group. We may need a Tax Deductible Foundation!

By the way did I mention I just got back from a hunting show and fell in love with a German made Blazer Rifle.........
