Watching all those parts and accessories just rot in your safe just makes you want to take them and do something with it! I miss building rifles...

Man i feel your pain. I have barrels and optics specifically that are worth thousands, just sitting there collecting dust. It kills me. I have three entire OCW load ladders waiting to be shot that were loaded two days before the ban. It’s taken me this long to get into my gun room and clean it. A pretty depressing experience.

I’ve started to hit the long range stuff recently, and it’s been nice. But deep down I wonder how long it’ll be until my “sniper rifles” are vilified and put in some retarded list.

This country is utterly failing on so many fronts.

Man that sucks. At least though you have found something, a new niche to keep you busy. I've never shot lever or bolt actions before so getting into that has been cool, I guess?

Fair. The long range game was always secondary to 3-gun and IPSC for me. It was just for a good time, and an excuse to go get out into the bush and do stuff, but it was never really a “passion”. So I’m happy that I can still compete via IPSC. But i REALLY miss 3-gun. And to think that all of this is just so some douchebags can manipulate ignorant people into thinking they’re the knight in shining armour makes me so very angry!
