Thread: Rifles

I read somewhere a while ago the there were 2 types of rifle.
The 'using' rifle and the 'looking' rifle.
The latter was the one you didn't use much but just loved having it in your gun cabinet because it was such a work of art.
I nearly bought one of those a while ago. A fully wooded left hand Manlicher 30 06. Beautiful wood, in mint condition and no doubt it would have been a great investment. I knew it wouldn't spend much time out hunting because I already had a bush 308 and a tops 300wm.... but I still wanted it.
I think @Toby, you are the sort of person that will own numerous firearms over the years so my advice would be if you have the coin buy what you want now. If you wait until you are certain you will never buy anything. Like girlfriends you can always move her on if it ends up not being right for you or you may end up keeping her forever. Only one way to find out.
