Default How often do you buy another double

I want to know what yall think is a reasonable time to wait to buy another double . I mean I think here lately I been on a gun buying binge .. But I cant stop from wanting to buy a double barrel Damascus gun every time I see one listed somewhere . I will have my next 10 gauge sxs middle of next month . Its been on layaway since January . I just love a old sxs gun and shooting a Damascus barreled gun because of the misconception about them . Its like being part of a small group or dedicated group who know the truth . That these old guns can still have a lot of life left in them .

btw im looking at a hammerless bonehill 10 bore . Figured it would go nicely with my hammer gun but I am having a rifle built in may so im tapped out till after that engagement .

As soon as the better half isn't paying attention and I can sneak it into the house!!

We can just buy, buy, buy any decent gun that comes along or we can wait, curb the appetite a bit and wait til that really special one is available.

a respectable mourning period for your dear departed cash?

if its one I really want and its in the budget I'd go for it

but as Dean says - you can't buy them all- I like the next to be an interesting addition - I see them nearly every day either in a shop or online that I like and think about, but in general it would need to be something I don't have.

then again - i am a shooter, not a collector - so each needs a use.

Smile buying doubles

I but whatever I like and want. I have been blessed in the stock market. I like all doubles although I have shot any of the 50 I have, I just like to look at the.
