Pushing 80 yrs of age. Thinking I should sell some guns. However, I came across a nice rifle at a good price. Oh my, what to do? We never know how long we have.

1. Buy it.
2. Trade one you don't like as much for it.
3. Buy it.
4. Don't buy it, but tell somebody where it is.
5. Buy it and give it to a relative.
6. Buy two just in case you lose one.
7. Buy it and give it to QSYB.

I'm pushing 76. Started selling some off last year. Bought another one two months ago, and have one on order to pick up next week. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/07/full-45444-239248-bogey_2.jpg)

My Dad bought and sold until the end. Might as well keep living as long as you're living.

Mom is 91, my dad is 93 and is recovering from a stroke.
They are currently in the process of buying a business. They could go tomorrow, but you better stay out of their way today.
Buy the gun, enjoy the ride.

Buy. If your dead tomorrow it goes to a family member. If your dead the next day you've had one more day to use it. Buy, use and don't look back.

Buy what you want when you want. If you can’t enjoy your life and retirement now, then when.
