    Cheap guns can be handy sometimes. I found when you and your gun are laying in the gravel after arsing up from a drainage ditch, your second thoughts are, "thank frig I was hunting with my $250 Tardme gun"

    I have no problems scuffing up a quality firearm , if the damage was honestly earned will using the gun for its intended role in life .
    Damage to a quality tool of any kind through stupidity or careless actions are a different thing .
    My firearms all carry battle scars of some description which I kind of like . Every nick or dent has a story behind it , and bring back memories of good times .
    FALL IN LOVE WITH THE NUMBERS , NOT THE IDEA

    You make a great point that I agree with. I guess I am a bit anal with my Sunday best shooters.
