I blame they guys I used to work with at a gun store many years ago. They got me hooked on DG rifles. It started with a BRNO ZKK 602 in 375H&H. They had a couple come into the store (actually we were the first store to retail BRNO rifles in Canada). They sold one but the other one sat for a while. They started to bug me about it saying that I needed a DG rifle. I said "why" and the one owner said "because I said so". OK good enough for me. He is also the reason behind me getting a 9.3x62 & 404 Jeffery. I said "why" and he said "because you don't have one and plus I said so!" Over the last several years I have purchased a CZ 550 in 416 Rigby, then CZ 550 in 450 Rigby, then CZ 550 FS 9.3x62 then had a custom 404 Jeffery built, then bought my friend's (yes same guy I used to work for) 458 Lott (which I'm toying with the idea of rebarrelling to 550 Magnum), now I'm having a 358 Norma Mag built. This is an expensive hobby and I blame my friend! LOL
At least you have someone to blame. I have only myself to blame. My first DG rifle was also Brno ZKK 602 in .375 H&H. 3 rounds touching at 100m. Back then I was able to pick from several based on the factory test target. It had so-so finish, so I had it bedded and re-finished the stock. It was a beauty. Then I had one more with hog-back stock. I always buy different makes of guns and start with eclectic collection only to end up with CZs and Mauser 98s. Then I sold everything and my buddy got me into hunting again few years ago. I swore I would only have few calibers and nothing big. I started with CZ 550 FS in 9.3x62. Then a .375 H&H Sako, 375H&H Whitworth, Ruger .458 Lott, CZ 550 458 Lott, etc. Sold the Sako and traded the Ruger for the same but in .416 Rigby. Now I'm thinking of elling it or trading it on a CZ in .416 and then all I "need" is a .404 Jef. I do have the other classics like 7x57 and 8x57 and 8x60 also. Old Brno 21s and Mausers of course. LOL
