I am beginning to think I will never achieve that point where my collection (used loosely here - I am including "working" guns not collector pieces but don't prefer the alternative word arsenal) is completed.
I started with a semiauto 22 rifle (plinking, hunting, Appleseed trainer) and then picked up a pump 20 ga (Hunting, HD). I decided I wanted a trainer handgun and picked up a 22 DA/SA revolver. Then I picked up a Bolt 22LR for hunting in PA where semi auto is not allowed (and since moved from that area - but I also upgraded the stock and as we bought this after our wedding it is viewed as sort of a heirloom gun too). Most recently a G19 as a CCW now that I live in a friendly state.
I thought at that point I was only ONE firearm away - a center fire rifle now that I live in a rifle friendly state for deer.
However I have since decided that I Just can't live without;
- Aforementioned bolt action 7mm-08 Browning X-Bolt Hunter for deer and target shooting
- a semi-auto 22 handgun like the Ruger SR22 or the M&P 22 or a conversion kit for my G19.
- as of last night (spent a lot of time on YouTube), an SKS. I love the looks of it (wear marks notwithstanding - referring to the rifle design here) and think with a tech sight addition it would make a great center fire complement to my Marlin 60. That would give me a set of bolt action scoped rifles 22 and center fire and a set of semi-auto iron sighted rifles 22 and center fire.
What's your list look like? anyone else going to need to buy a bigger safe?
