Kyode, I just figured out the sum you'd be required to pay for your 'NEXT' barrel. Even you got them at 1/2 price, on sale, you'd have to pay about $3,295.10!!! Fortunately for me, I don't suffer the same ills you have! I have my next barrel already figured out. It is a 204, 260, Rem, 6.5x284, 280 Rem, .500 S&W, 458 WinMag, or what ever!!! I already have way too many to choose from, that's why I need another. Anybody else out there buy a barrel, set it up, kill something with it, and then sit it on a shelf? I have a whole shelf full myself!!

....even worse. Buy barrel, inspect it, put it in safe....leave it there...start searching for another....

hehehe......dang!.....i need another job!

Guilty of all the above abuses,,neglecting barrels is secondary to the neglect of my rifles lately though.
I guess I do fit in here after all

Guilty also got an Encore 500 S&W mag, a Contender 35 Remington, 45-70, and coming soon a 17 Hmr I haven't even shot yet... lol

If it weren't for guys like KYODE and 45NUT I wouldn't buy anymore barrels.They are constantly telling me to buy things. Oh those voices in my head. Thanks to them I am now the proud owner of a 41 mag barrel. Thanks alot guys

<shuffling my feet> AW Shucks,,yer embarrassing me

You know if I ever get as bad as you guys I'll quit. I only have two barrels half way broken in and one sitting in a box. Slim

Ya know, I forgot to mention that I have quite a few handguns and rifles that help protect my safe too. There used to be a saying that sort of went "a man that only owns one gun....." somewhere long about 30yrs ago when I was 21, I forgot that saying....and never looked back. KYODE, when I die, my wife is left with a nightmare, and someone else is going to have a great time...I can only hope I shoot all the barrels and throats out first!! Gerry.
