Dad always said...."A fool and their money are soon parted." How much one brings in is certainly part of the wealth equation. But, how much one keeps is the bottom line. Just an observation.....
Is Tangent Theta worth the $ over NF?

I hope you get the best scopes and can shoot your guns for years to come.
Sorry to hear that you and I are in a similar situation. I inquired with my attorney to see if I could attach a stipulation that if I willed a firearm to an individual and they no longer wanted it, it would pass on to another person who I desired and so on but it can't be accomplished by a simple will and the alternative is to create a irrevocable trust. Too costly and expensive for me so I am selling most of my firearms except for a couple. I wish you the best.Love my 338 RUM... that and my 257 Wby. My 2 most favorite to shoot.

Gone Ballistic and Sanford 338, sorry to hear of your challenges. Keep up the fight. Recently took another family member, five in 24 months, through similar situation. When it came time for the hospice portion of his journey, he struggled with similar dilemma. Of course, he considered selling everything. But, he came to accept it was too much hassle......and a waste of his precious remaining heartbeats.......old too soon; smart too late, he said. Didn't trust the undertaker body preparer, wasn't sure what currency would be appropriate. and couldn't find a service to wire the funds to his next address. We shared many laughs during that part of his journey.
After much thought and discussion, he decided to personally give each firearm, scope, spotting scope, reloading equipment, hunting gear, all his many toys, to his personally chosen recipient. I brought each item to his location and brought the recipient to visit. In addition to feeling he cut an attorney out of the process, he got far more joy out of visiting with special people and personally giving the item directly to them. In many instances, he signed the item, sometimes with a personal comment or memory recollection. The recipients were very appreciative, touched by his thoughtfulness, shared some fond memories, and he passed the torch to a younger generation to carry on. Gave him many pleasant moments as his time wound down. Just a thought for your consideration. Hope it doesn't come to that for each of you, but we are all just tourists passing through. We don't know each other, haven't met, probably won't meet in person. But, I do care about you. As a side note, it is appointed unto man "once to die, and then the judgment." "Every knee will bow". We will all get religion. It is just a matter whether we get religion in time or just a little too late. I encourage you to get religion in time. Not a connection with bricks and mortar religion, but a personal experience with The One that matters. It's easy; it's real; and, its FREE...pre-paid in full a long, long time ago. Best deal in the Universe. Reference John 3:16. This life is just a dress rehearsal for the really, really important big experience. Best wishes.

Amen! And Thank You! Mine is liver.. prognosis is not good... not good at all. But when my Maker calls I'm ready, I found our Lord years back, He rescued me.

Have a sizable collection around 100k... have given serious thought to willing to my best friends I grew up with. Probably what I will do... some good folks here on this forum.

I'm not a religious man anymore. As a retired medical professional in the military (31yrs Royal Canadian Medical Service) I've been all over the world and have seen to many horrible things to believe a god could allow such things. Perhaps I'll find God again. However, I do believe all matter of which we, and the universe are comprised of are very special. I know that when I'm gone I'll continue to be of this universe. Perhaps the carbon of the best shooting barrel. Liver Ca is beatable or at the least you can extend your life so as to Continue impart wisdom to your community And enjoy
ever day you have remaining. I'll continue to look for your posts, but not like a stocker lol. If we ever get our boarders opened come up here to Canada. We'll grab a beer and lobster and do some LR shooting. All the bestsw282

New Kids on the [High-End Optic] Block: Tangent Θ Theta - The Truth About Guns
For those of you that need the very “best of the best” when it comes to long range optics for precision rifles, a new Canadian firm named Tangent Theta is now in production, and is showcasing its three new scopes at the 2015 SHOT Show. From the looks of what I saw, Tangent Theta’s products are...

Hahaha I like your style. Now here is a good question, is a rifle scope worth $8,000?
In regards to handing down guns and other treasured sporting goods, no one described it better than the late Corey Ford from the Golden Age of outdoor writing, before magazines were just gear reviews and ads. You youngsters here won't even understand what I'm talking about. This has always stuck with me. I too have had cancer (prostate) in the last year but with radiation I'm likely fine. I have given away several rifles, shotguns, fly rods, knives, etc. in the last few years to younger folks who have a love of the sport. Better than having them sold and maybe mistreated. Anyway, here's the link to the story. The actual Lower Forty stories referenced at the beginning of the article will seem a little hokey and corny to the younger folks but harken to a simpler time.
