I have been furloughed the last week and pretty much stuck in the house. My mind has been wandering
and I was pondering some things.
I currently have 3 revolvers that have no emotional attachment to me. I have trouble using the sights on them without switching glasses (presbyopia and narrow/shallow rear sights), I don't use them as carry weapons and one of them I find painful to shoot. If I were to sell/trade them, I would no longer have a need to stock any .38/.357.
I also have a .243 rifle that I purchased a couple of years ago to use as a combination varmint/deer rifle. I have EBRs that utilize 5.56 and 7.62X51 and I keep rounds for them on hand. I don't use them for hunting because they are heavier and more cumbersome in the field than a nice bolt (Believe me, I have tried
) I could sell the .243 and get a nice bolt in .223 and one in .308 and it would eliminate another caliber but it would add two rifles to the mix.
If I were to do this, I would have a net decrease of 2 guns and would reduce my "caliber footprint" by two as well.
When the Wuhuflu hit I successfully got rid of guns/ammo in .45, .40, .357 Sig and it did make my ammo locker much more organized and kind of prompted my thinking about this.
Have any of you guys contemplated or actually went through with doing similar things?
Opinions?
