[QUOTE="mtngunr, post: 4334242, member: 46104"] I've owned pretty much every gun and knife ever wanted, at one time or another, and a very impressive list it would make of eras, makers and money spent. But, have never been a hoarder, and once I experienced THIS, or did THAT, especially in proficiency with firearms, and with shooting experience in excess of half a century and having known some of the finest shooters and authors of the age... well, most went away with notable exceptions of replacing some sold off at least two and three times, and what is on-hand today a pretty small and humble assortment... Where I shoot enough to keep my hand in with decent proficiency, although nothing as former times, where the urge to recapture the magic is less... and otherwise range trips rather boring if done too often, as bullets go where intended with regularity, the only real break getting something new (generally an old friend come to visit again) and heading to range for zero and function test and/or reacqaintance with required hold and trigger control... a relatively recently acquired 681 with full house 158s has been the "let's get reacqainted" friend of late to pique interest enough to drive to range multiple times, but, soon enough I'll be where I want to be with it, and then what? Likely further culling of what is here, as "wants" mostly met long ago, while "needs" are ever fewer. [/QUOTE]
