As the Baby Boomers age out of gun ownership, some very nice customs are coming up for sale. Here's one:

Hopefully I hunt till the day I drop
And if that happens while hunting
Life has been very kind to me.

Age out of gun ownership? Those words don’t make sense to me...

I hear you. But the average age folks get rid of their collection is 65. Me? I'm still lusting.

The ,338-06 would be a great cartridge for someone with a bunch of ‘06 cases laying around. I have a bunch of .338 WM cases laying around, so find me a .375-.338! Ha! Ha!

Too many memories in my guns. My son can sell them when I’ll gone if he doesn’t want them!

Aging out of gun ownership???when hunting starts I'll be 72 and I have no intention of thinning the herd. One of my grandpa's died while hunting- that's as good a way as any.

Unfortunately, some people become physically or mentally unsound and want to help out their wives by selling off their collections while they can.

If the day comes when I can no longer go hunting
I will gather my kids and grand kids and let them pick which ones they would like, except for a couple that will be transferred to Africa, and one I’ll keep just in case I can get out one more time.

My sentiments exactly, although, I wouldn't rule out selling a small handful that I bought but didn't use for anything memorable.

I have a .338-06 that's a rebarreled Remington 798 with laminated stock. That rifle definitely has more eye appeal to the point I'd be reluctant to hunt with it, mine probably weighs a bit more to help with recoil.

 

[rosenberger stephen]

I have found that the older I am the heavier the rifle becomes.

No such thing. Damn kids think they know everything.

 

[Odinsraven]

I have a spreadsheet with all my guns values and where to sell them - by girl will have no hassles nor annoyed by the vultures - I dispose of a lot of collections - the offers the widows receive are insane !

@postoak
I hope I never get that old to age out of gun ownership. I will still shoot up until I die God willing even if it's only a 22lr.

Inf I age out of hunting I will just take a long walk in a short paddock. You will find me in the bush with my gun in my dead hands still in the bush hunting.

Where did you pick up that factoid? None of my gun toting friends are divesting at that age. Still adding to my collection heading into 68. Taking my newest addition out hunting this weekend.

@postoak
Ive been mentally unsound for years just ask anyone that knows me. I help my wife and love it.
One if the best ways of helping her is to go hunting. That way I'm not at home annoying her.
Win win.
She gets peace and quiet, I get to hunt and have fun. What's not to like.

Can’t think of a better way to go.
