While my conceptualization wasn’t quite as specific as Mr.

Like the infamous “Scout Rifle” concept idea put to words by the immortal Jeff Cooper, the idea that came to be dubbed my “Walking Around Rifle” probably needs some explanation. So I only buy firearms that I connect with – both literally and figuratively. Too many guns is wonderful, but it’s a maintenance and security liability I don’t want to deal with. If a firearm doesn’t perform, just isn’t quite what I had in mind, or falls by the usage wayside, it gets sold or traded off. I buy quality items sparingly, and use every gun that I buy. To that end, I get picky on the guns that I buy I’m not an accumulator like many other self-proclaimed gun snobs I know. It’s comforting and warming to me – and modern milled-and-molded aluminum and plastic guns just don’t give me the same warm and fuzzy feeling. Though the AR platform is great for a small-to-medium-game hunting platform, I’d rather ditch the Rambo vibe and carry something with a “soul” when I decide to head into the woods for an afternoon of scouting, hiking, or snowshoeing.Ī well-used and -loved decades-old rifle on my shoulder feels to me like it’s bringing company call it corny, but I like to think that a small part of every man, woman, and child who ever had that gun in their hands comes with me when I carry these old firearms around. What I am saying is that if I don’t need to be using that high-capacity new-age gun at a given time, I’m not gonna.

I’m not saying that I don’t have and use ARs and polymer-framed pistols – I do they are my “oh shit” guns, and I use and abuse them properly. I like my guns classy, old, and made of walnut and blued steel, forged and carved by craftsmen from a different era. I’ll admit it readily I’m a gun snob of the highest accord.
