"Gun Nut"
Ok! So I may be a "Gun Nut".
A friend of myn gave me a little ornament that is a wall nut with eyes and under it it says "Gun Nut". His wife got it for him but he has just a few guns and said it really fit me better.
I have a lot of guns and probably more than I can use in any one season.
I have wanted a sav. 99 in .300 sav. for some time and a few years back I bought two of them and used one to shoot a white-tail buck and doe and a bull moose.
I have wanted a Win. 100 in .284 for some time and finally bought one and it is now at a gun smiths getting the firing pin switched. (along with one in .308 that I also bought)
Recently I got a little confused as I saw a Sav. 99 in .284 for sale and I wanted it.
There are not many guns I really need. BUT, what I should be looking for is a "varmint gun" in .223 (or maybe 22/250)
I would like a Win. 70 featherweight in 6.5X55.
And I have always wanted a Ruger Carbine in .44 rem. Mag.
And to top it all off I am about to get back into bow hunting. Maybe I am just a "nut".

Wow, I thought I was doing good with 10 active registration certs. Guess I have a little ways to go. I'm sure I can find another 313 gun that I ... need.
