raamwTwice in one month, what is wrong with me
Not long ago I bought the SPR45-70 and I contracted the dreaded DRD (double rifle disease) which manifested in having to buy a Merkel 140-2 in 375HH, what next? Is there a cure or does it get worse like a 577 or 600?

You are probably coming real close to becoming an addict! SO! If you will just send those two demon rifles to me, I'll dispose of them for you, and you can just "SAY NO TO DOUBLES" or maybe get theropy to kick the habit!

Bike RiderRaamw,
Yep you have the dreaded DRD! It only gets worse from here on out. The only cure IS a 577 or 600NE! One or two of each should help. Often it only adds to the sickness

elsYou are screwed. Now way out now . Financial ruin awaits.
If you own a gun and you are not a member of the NRA and other pro 2nd amendment organizations then YOU are part of the problem.

ShowbartIt gets worse. Really painful too. Like when you have to sell one. Bad withdrawals, unless you're buying something nicer.
You don't NEED big boomers tho. Stick with the 36-423 cal.

GarByRAAMW....there is no known cure...showbart and I know....among others. There ARE some things that can slow the spread...big bore bolt actions, etc.....but no cure.
Good luck.

I bet you thought sex and booze was fun. Now you will cut back on both just to afford the ammo. You will even take a chance of getting cut off for a month oe two if she finds out you bought another!!!
There is no cure, just let yourself go.
