It’s funny, I thought about selling off several guns a few years ago, and again recently to take some of the financial strain off my move. The only one I’ve ended up letting go was a 9422 Winchester lever that I’d never fired and had been sitting in its box since I bought it nearly 20 years ago. The reason? I had no attachment to it. Every other gun I own I’ve used on a hunt or the range, and there are simply too many memories attached to part with them. Love for the gun? Oh, yeah … .

We all remember the first gun purchases…like conceiving a child…the first, the second, the third…the 700, the BAR, the 70…all good rifles with TLC and an owner who loves to shoot. I started with the Ithaca 37s, featherlight and multiple barrels….12, 20. Great light guns you can carry all day and throw a slug into quick during cross over seasons.
I enjoy the Ruger Red Label 44 Carbine with Redfield 3x scope and firing HV 350grain hollowpoint or solid heads…the ultimate light weight, no kick, carry all day, stand and drive weapon. Alot of power in Wisconsin hills and short plains where long shots are very seldom needed.
Thanks for the great article!
