You are a very conservative individual!
Those needs and wants are pretty easy to satisfy. The bad part is, once you have these few things, and next you decide you want a Hawkeye, or a Flattop, or a Flatgate, that wont be quite so easy. But, you'll figure out a way to get them, too. After that, you'll be out of control.Welcome to the Forum!

I told The Keeper of the Kingdom's funds that we satisfied our needs a long time -- now it's time to work on our wants.

I'm always finding something new that tickles my fancy. Unfortunately I'm running out of room!

That's what you get for having such a ticklish fancy!

Yeah me too.

Your want list will always be longer than the need list. I'm at the point now that I wish that I could get back many of the guns that I traded off years ago for something that looked better at the time.

Heck, I'm almost 71, and I have the same "problem". For the last few years I've had a 'jones' for OM's. I've managed to sell, or trade off several other guns, in my quest. I'm up to five now, and I think I've got all that I want, but you never know. It's not easy when you're retired on a fixed income, but I always manage, somehow. :roll:

It's a Ruger disease with no cure and the symptoms last a lifetime!

About the time you think you have filled all your "wants and needs" list, you will walk by a table at a show or the counter at a gunshop and you will feel the on rush of symtoms of "Rugeritis" and THAT need/want will have to be satisfied.......Good Luck!

I need a 10 step process for it. I don't think I'd pass, but do feel I'd be in good company :wink:

That's almost all you need... just add a long-gun and you're good to go.

I have similar wants and needs, but I'm not an old codger. An old codger is someone older than I.

Hi Rosie65. Welcome to the forum. Decisions, decisions.

Yep, Welcome! It ain't always about "needs". Usually "wants" is good enough.
But for many of us geezers, our "can do" falls short of our "want to"! :shock:

They're kinda like potato chips too, Rosie; "Can't eat just one".
I started with a Single Six, and then . . . it sorta got out of hand.
But it's a great addiction, to be sure! Welcome to the group!

Good choices. I too feel my "wants" are just as important as my "needs" the older I get. If not now, when?
Problem is, every time I buy a gun, it's my "last" one -- and then I buy another "last" one.
BTW, start with the Single Six and that will hold you off for at least a couple of months. Oh, you should also add a nice stainless Ruger Mark III bull barrel or hunter .22 LR to your list.
