[QUOTE="Clem Bronkoski, post: 1685109, member: 110518"] Ah...yes the hunting/shooting $ conundrum! There was a time waaaaaay back when I only had one rifle and one shotgun and one bow. But I've been blessed with a good wife, kids, health and job. Back in the 80s when I finally got my "career" job (I was already in the workplace for 20+ years) I would take $50 out of my pay each week. That was for everything I needed (gas, smokes,etc). I would immediately put $10 in a kitty for myself. After a while I quit smoking and that added more $ to the kitty each week. At the end of the year I usually had enough to buy a decent gun. Remember, they were a lot cheaper back then too. I also did a lot of trading (buying cheap and then trading up). Today I'm retired and I pretty much have all I need. But I did just order a Begara B-14. Don't overlook the used racks. You can find some real good ones there that someone else had and either traded up or was hurting for cash. I wish I still had some of the rifles I traded up on! Ammo - I reload for everything. And I have for over 55 years. [/QUOTE]
