I got my first SML from Jeff a couple years ago. It is an Encore build. I love it and it is probably more gun than I need. I have absolutely no justification, but I was just on the web site and saw he has Mesa and Defiance bolt action builds available, and I'm just itching to buy one. We retire at the end of the year and are selling our house and building a retirement home. Tis is not the time to be buying another SML or any firearm for that matter, but I can't seem to get rid of the itch. Anyone have a cure? A treatment that would ease itch for a year or two would be good enough!  |

Sounds like to me you need to scratch the itch. The cure is to buy yourself a new SML and wife one too!

You know the cure just take the treatment. Instant relief guaranteed.

Yep….the only “cure” is what you’re itching to get. Anything else is just a placebo that will leave you wanting more. Sad, but true. 🤷‍♂️

Man, you guys are not help at all!  The hilarious part is that you actually may have expected different advice... I'll tell you this: I haven't figured out how to get out of aquiring something once it's in my blood (other than exhorbitant pricing). To be fair, I don't have too many extraneous things (although I'm sure there are people who would disagree... ). Priorities are a fickle thing. You'll have to get something to keep you busy when you retire. It's not a good idea to be idle anyway. May as well have another excuse to go to the range.  You only live once, so why bother yourself with the inconsequential? You may as well just get it over with, and then go to the range as much as you can. Richard is a good testament to that. This would give you a platform to experiment with beyond your hunting rig. There, now you have another "bad" influence...  gd |

I know someone that has an (amazing) cure for that itch !!! Unfortunately, even the most effective cures seem to be temporary. Otherwise, my previous SML purchases would have cured me. Only a few years have gone by and the itch is increasing daily! I need some kind of temporary soothing that lets me get the "responsible" stuff taken care of first. |

Just my 2 cents buy gun before you retire. Having retired a couple of years ago and enjoying the retirement rifle that I bought. Scratch that itch and don't look back great times ahead

Scratch that itch and don't look back great times ahead That's why I bought the first SML a couple years ago. Having a couple years of experience under my belt now and knowing what I know, had I not bought the Encore, I'd jump on a bolt action. I'm hoping that when my last purchase (Burris Eliminator 6) comes in and I find some time to play with it on the Encore, it cools my thirst for a while. |
