Yeah I know, There is a swedish straight pull Mauser that I have been thinking about buying...... The problem is when I started collecting guns I bought anything that interested me...... My safe filled up fast and I found that I had so many different calibers, that keeping up with ammo became a hassle..... I eventually decided to keep only a few calibers and trade in the rest to purchase guns in the calibers that I decided to keep..... I had decided to go on .40S&W and .22 on pistols.... 7mag , .308 , 7.62X39, .22 and .22 mag on rifles and .12 gauge on shotguns.... Really this is why I got rid of my Garand, my K98 mauser and my three enfields to name a few...... So eventhough I would really like that swedish mauser, I know that adding another caliber would start me off in the wrong direction again....... The truth is I want them ALL!!!
Here's a Pic of one of my Baby's

I guess in a way I became more of a Quality over Quantity type of guy.... When I go to the range... for me it is not how many rounds I can get down range......for me I challenge myself to be as accurate as I can be...... if I end up with anything more than a 2-3" group at 100yds I feel emotionally bad... like I let myself down.... it happens sometimes, but every once in a while I will even surprise myself with some of my shooting.......
