I think I am actually good for a while. I have to admit I have a fairly extensive collection I have put together. Just never really thought I would reach the end of the list of gotta haves along with a lot of the price was great so I bought them anyways. 22-250 is a new round for me, so working up a load and a nice collection of rounds should keep me busy for a while. If anyone has any great varmint loads they would like to share I would love to hear them. Guessing I will start with the Hornady VMAX unless anyone has anything negative to say about them.

They are good looking guns. I just about bought a 375HH the other day. Very nice gun! but my buddy decided he wanted a bolt gun, so it would have had to stay in my safe :chuckle:

I've run across several of them, but always wanted one in a 22-250 for some reason. Finally ran across a nice on at a descent price. Looking forward to knocking off some coyotes with a caliber that doesn't blow the front shoulder out the a$$ end. Looking for a bobcat this year also and would like to keep it in fairly good shape.

If you are hunting for cats you might want to look for a little more solid bullet. The ballistic tip bullets like nosler and vmax put some big holes in them :chuckle: For yotes you should also try some ballistic tip noslers. Mine likes the 50g bullets.

Everytime I think I am done buying guns.  I end up buying a couple more.  I'll bet you do the same thing.

You live in a fantasy world. I've said "now I dont need any more guns" many many many times. I always end uo finding "just one more".

The more items I buy off my "must have list", the more my list seems to grow!

I agree there is always going to be the "I had to buy it because it was such a good deal", but I think everyone has a list that they really want to get into the safe and I have finally got all of those. Believe me it was a pretty extensive list and some of them are in there twice just do to good deals, but at least for the next week or so I am content. :)

Wound up with a great deal. 30 year old gun looks like it may have been fired just a handful of times.

Looking forward to getting it out and shooting it. I have heard both good and bad things about the #1.

I've never made a list.  If I did it would take me years to make, and ten lifetimes to fill.  :chuckle:
