Talk me out of it...

Cabelas has the Fierce Fury rifles on sale right now for $1699. I’m dead set on a 300rum, which happens to be available in this rifle...talk me out of it.

I think you need it.

Will your life be complete without it?   NO.

Will you live out the rest of your days regretting it if you don't get it.   ABSOLUTELY.

I'd hate to see your life ruined.

It’s useless to try.
You will look at it on line.
Watch YouTube videos of it.
Post a picture over desk.
Not sleep till you get it.

Save time go buy it.

I got a gun I have been trying to talk myself out of for over a year. About ready to give in and buy it.

A nice rifle is one of the most cost-effective mid-life crises - much cheaper than a divorce/mistress or a sports car.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

:yeah:
I agree with 2 many, look hard at a 300 winny.

After having owned both I much prefer the win. If I were to step up more it would be a large 338.

The win will push 200+ grain bullets at 2900+.

Good luck!

Just tell her, out of love and appreciation for all that she does, you're actually buying it for her, not yourself.  Of course that BS never works but at least you'll have some kind of an excuse.  :tup:

I already have a 300wm and 2 short mags and I had a 338wm. I don't NEED it but you know how that goes lol. I want a cross canyon elk hammer for the big logging country I hunt but I don't want a big 338.
