Almost 10 years ago now, I bought a Browning A-Bolt Medallion. It’s not that I needed it and it’s too pretty to ever use for hunting or what not, I just always remember wanting one going back to childhood so when one of the local gun shops was having a Black Friday blowout, I saw it and said what the heck. I still haven’t scoped it and fired it, but I plan to rectify that soon. I love it for what it is, but it definitely was not a needed or even a particularly practical acquisition.

Come on, man! I've been using my A-Bolt Medallion in the fields and swamps of eastern NC for 30 years. After all those years, it still looks extremely pretty.
Scope it and take it hunting!

A good retired Army SFC, Vietnam vet had one when I was at Hood. I’ve wanted one since. Almost had one a few summers ago from GB but got outbid. Yes, it cost more than my last several cars. But you only live once.


got one, fantastic shooter,

if you are ever in the RVA or Charlottesville area, I'll take you to the range (rrpc.org)


wanted a SIG AMT and or a PE 57 for years
had a chance for each years ago, but it slipped thru my fingers,

did recently pick up a 510-4 Chilean kit build, with a TTE (?,,, going from memory) receiver,


filled the void at 1/2 the cost,

I want one right now. I want something "different" for no good reason.

The struggle is real.

Galil ARM. The wood handguard, carry handle, and bipod are just so cool to me. I should’ve bought one instead of an SAR
