Reading this thread got me thinking of something that Grandpaw has been telling me since I got old enough to hold a shotgun: "You don't need another gun!!!" What he meant was: "The way of a real hunter is to get himself a good gun, and own and shoot just that one gun, and no other, so that you get used to it like it's your wife, stick to it, and never trade it until it starts to fall apart with wear".

I've always politely ageed with that notion, but mentally cast it away as old-fashioned poor man's attitude. But now ... you've got me thinking, maybe these oldtimers actually got it right? Maybe I should stick to what I've got already, and put away the money that I would have otherwise spent on guns, so that one gay I would finally get to own just one good gun (anything that comes from London of the late Victorian will be fine, thank you)?
