Why? That is the main question. I have "high end" as well as budget guns. At this point, I think I have too many "high end" guns that don't get used nearly enough, especially when I own cheaper (but high performing) guns that do the same job just as well. I question the usefulness of AR's with barrels that are getting into NFA/pistol territory unless a can is attached. Shotguns (for me) are almost always used for shooting things with feathers, and my Mossberg 930 field gun does fine at that. For everything else, my $140 partner pumps with 18" barrel do as well as anything else. I have Larue AR in 5.56 that is a 1 MOA rifle, but I have another I built for a lot less from Brownells parts that is about 1.5 MOA. In the 1911 realm, I have a personal problem with those pistols when made in places like china, the Philippines, and Turkey, and in any caliber besides 45. regardless of the great results others have with them, to me they are "unseemly". To me, unless one is buying true "vintage" guns for a collection, obtaining quality guns at reasonable prices that you can feed (and will actually use) makes more sense in this day and age. At the end of the day, to each his own.
