Happiness is...

[Simple Shooter]

Alright. We have all seen this followed by something sappy like, "...a warm blankie" or "...spending time with you". Or a cute cartoon. Or ugly little figurines.

It's high time for the members of this forum to finish this sentence our way. I will start off with the next post.

 

[Simple Shooter]

Happiness is... Filled to the brim.

A warm machine gun.

 

[BRatigan]

Unlimited reloading time and range experimentation.

 

[BLACKHAWKNJ]

Looking at current prices, remembering what you paid for yours years ago, translating that into current prices and realizing you still got a bargain.

Since this is a gun forum I will keep it clean and on the topic of guns .

A new gun .

Backyard range and the time to enjoy it:

I was going to say John Lennon said it best, but Robert improved on it a bit.

Wasn’t “Happiness is a Warm Gun” a song from back in the days!

Happiest is this!!!

 

[earlthegoat2]

A big buck under your tree.

I’m sure there is something better and wiser but that is what I have today.

For me in this time period it would be, "being able to get out and burn up some gun powder".

Filling your freezer with organic meat!

Happiness is pulling up to the gate for a weekend of hunting with no TV or phone reception.

"Happiness is" spending a lazy morning on THR and forgetting about the fact that it IS Monday. I might drive down to the local county gravel pit and run a few rounds through my new .357 later. Or not - it's kinda cold outside, so I might just go down in the basement and put powder and bullets in the 50 primed .357 cases sitting in a loading block on my bench. Or not - my sourdough starter needs fed, so maybe I'll look at a few new sourdough recipes on the internet and try one of them. Or not - getting old has its share of problems, but retirement isn't one of them.

Oh….i guess the OP meant Guns….

.308 Battle Rifles and a buddy-spotter to find out where missed shots - around the 200 yard gong- hit the ground.
Up, down, left or right?

With iron sights (I’ve never owned a scope: age 68) you seldom See the missed impacts even in dry dust/sand from that distance.

"Happiness is.... original Colt snake guns, Ruger Security Sixes, and pre-lock S&W revolvers."

[MacAR]

Happiness is... the smell of wet woods and burned powder and blood on the last cold day of rifle season.
Happiness is... the flutter of wings and the boom of guns and the sweet smell of cedar and sage on the wind during a covey rise on a frosty November morning.
Happiness is... a crackling fire and coffee and Hoppes #9 on a winter evening after a successful hunt... don't matter for what or if you killed anything.

Need I go on?
