    When I was 15, I could neither afford nor was I allowed to have more than 1. Now I'm in my 40s, I can. That's probably why. My Daystate is probably the only rifle I need, but I love having a play with the Meteors and Mercurys; they're a lot more fun and personable than the clinical PCP. Some I'll hardly ever use (the Relum springs to mind, although I bought it because it was ridiculously cheap, plus it's bombproof), some I'll use a lot, and there's still more that I intend to get. Plus, I have plenty of room in my "gun cupboard" for them, so why not?

    Because I don’t like selling what I’ve got.

    They all shoot a bit different. Space in the gun cabinets is intolerable.

    ..And the total value of all my guns will be less than a few months' depreciation suffered on an expensive car or bike.

    And I'll have loads of guns to tinker with when I retire and have some spare time on my hands.

    Rumour has it that the tunnel from your garden shed to Quigley Hollow is almost finished!
