Yea, you nailed it. I am actually gonna get a second safe for up at my deer cabin then move all my whitetail rifles and goose/duck guns up there. Leave the safe at home for the "out west" and Africa guns.

Funny how when you buy a safe you think you are getting "bigger than I will ever need" but it never is :)
 
Used to be people would put a Ivory Bead up front. I guess this is the modern day version of that.

Probably can't even buy Ivory Bead front sights anymore
 
I’m not sure number 5 will hold the overflow.
Hey! We don't have a sickness. We just have an overriding desire for the finer things in life. If that is an MRC rifle, cherish it. I have one in 06 and it is by far the sweetest machine I have ever fired.

Exactly!

And Yes...it is. I can't wait to kill a Buffalo with it.
 
I've only sold or traded a couple of guns, and then was sorry. My advise is that if you like both rifles keep them both. Logic has nothing to do with it!

I like the way you think. I will probably keep both.

Only you can decide, it's nice to have multiples but it's nice to get out and use them.

I try apply logic and keep my gun room simple, like only loading for a dozen different cartridges.

Im not a cgun collector as such.

I try tell myself all I want is a small functional collection, each one is a use be it a bunny rifle or a Buffalo rifle, set up accordingly. But then something else seems to make me think which do I hold , sell or maybe buy.

Good luck with that!
 
You don't have a problem only having 2 is no big deal. Wait till you have 2 or 3 in several different calibers or that you put guns away in safes labeled 7mm 30Cal 416 458 and Big stuff
 
I found that if I kept at least one big bore in my house it kept my garden free of Rhinos. The peace of mind was well worth the investment!
Bfly
I’m feeling much better already

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
