    How many rifles have you owned?

    Ok - this thread is a bit tounge in cheek but I am just interested anyway.......

    Now more than enough on this board will know that in about the last 6 months of shooting I have had a couple of rifles and got rid of most - well TBH I have had 10 (I think)!
    In the begining........well I just got the bug and have tried and owned some of the best rifles available, now all in all I still have only ended up with three which I hope will be keepers and yes, I have probably lost a tidy few quid on this insane hobby/addiction as well but personally I don't really care.
    I have had some fun with every single rifle and would probably do it again with all of them ( apart from the XL Tactical! ). I have also learned a lot about them and what my abilities for tinkering are - which is also a good thing because my answer to most things mechanical now is " I CAN'T BUT I KNOW A MAN WHO CAN...."

    Just generally interested if there is anyone else out there like me or am I alone in my sad indulgent world?

    I've had an HW95 and a Colt pistol (the umarex one)

    I got rid of the 95 after a couple of months, and i sold the CP99 to who is now my brother in law a few years ago.

    Ok I have just seen that this has been done before back in last December but we have had quite a few new members since then and there were only four pages of replies and a few took up nearly a page with the amount of rifles they have had so - I'm still intereste! At least I'm feeling better about myself - I can now say that "Yes I have an addiction but im not alone! "
