My first gun in Texas.

[gshayd]

Who knows. Lol look, all of you have the same problem I do...I can see it now...walk into a gun store with intention of a 45-70; oh look that’s a great deal on that gun I didn’t intend on buying! Then txstenson is sad. I’m gonna try to stick with a 45-70 cause I miss having one. But I’m a gun slut. I have no shame

No shame in being a gun slut.....

Thanks darkpriest for tagging along.

Ok, the Fort Worth show didn’t have a 45-70 I wanted, but i have fond memories of the hr break open rifles and couldn’t resist a 444 marlin for 250 bucks. Lol this thread isn’t dead. A 45-70 is still in the works. Almost told myself to buy a cz75b in pretty good shape for 425. That was hard walking away from that.

Okay
We ARE making progress
You set out to buy a 4570
You bought a. 444
So that leaves 4126

That means you still need to buy a 41 Mag

I like how you think.

Ok before we get out of hand. Sam7sf is awesome. Second, he almost bought 3 guns while we were there. The show was smaller than the premier show, but the prices were surprisingly decent for what we looked at.

 

[Sam7sf]

Prices weren’t bad. Everyone was open to wiggle room on prices.

Congrats on the new rifle, but sorry Charlie, that don’t count. You’re supposed to buy a 45-70.

It doesn’t count. Still need to get that 45-70.

It's a bonus gun. I'll allow it.

I f’ed up again. Went to the gun store today and got these. The ruger is a 22-250. I’m not doing this right. I can’t be left unsupervised

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

I do know I want a Henry 45-70 of some sort. labor took more of a toll on me than I thought the closer i get to 40. This last weekend I couldn’t do my blr in 30-06 very well without ibuprofen. My rotator doesn’t enjoy big recoil. I’ll still do it. It’s fine the first few shots. The gun store I stopped at does great muzzle break work, so I’d still like a 45-70. I’ll get my 6.5 Swede done too, it’s a howa action.

I gave up on trying to quit and decided to let the addiction run it's course.

(which means I'll be buying another tomorrow)

 

[avvidclif]

What addiction? I just happen to like to buy guns. Nice ones.

Relax. It'll all get easier as you get older.

OP go get a Marlin or Winchester lever gun in .357
Use 38spec for plinking.
Full power .357 for serious work.
.357 out of a carbine is no poof
