Thread: $1600 what rifle would you buy?

I fear that the old way of just grabbing a gun and going hunting seems to be being bred out of humans.

Instead, it seems that you need to discuss the most unlikely things that will happen, and the most inconsequential aspects of rifles, and do a whole lot of hand wringing. Then you are prepared. But by then its winter....

When I think of "the old way" that's what I think of.

Just because someone wants to enjoy the experience of finding a gun they like does not mean it won't get used afterwards surely.

Jeez you bite. It was tongue in cheek. You know, a leg pull.
