My way of buying...
 

fishing and hunting gear is to buy it for cash or paid off the bill within weeks.
Treated it as a hobby; not a necessity.
Bought a lot less stuff, when paying cash over the years.
Seem to appreciate more, the gear I bought.
And the products I found at a discount, I treated them as heirlooms and kept them a lot longer.
A parka, a rifle, a fishing rod, an insulated pair of boots, military surplus boots, a tree stand, two sweaters. Kept them, treated them as irreplaceable, and avoided having to replace them.

And though it you become an expert on inflation. You avoid telling people what the heirloom cost. Besides, its inflation newbies never saw.

I never buy hunting gear on credit, I use a credit card to order on line but it is paid when the bill comes.

Hunting is fun. I also love hunting at the weekend with a friend. If this is your hobby, you can buy one rifle with scope. You can read tips of hunting on blog http://ar15scopecenter.com/top-best-...unter-shooter/. I often visit here to read more information about hunting.
Good luck to you!!!

I'm not sure the point of this post? Be fiscally responsible I guess which goes without saying.

I only buy quality products and I take care of them.
My philosophy is to buy once, and cry once.

I will take advantage of other folks purchasing whims for pennies on the dollar every chance I get too.
