Over twenty-five years ago my friends dad built me a gun rack in his modern western style. I asked that it be like the rack seen on the Bonanza TV show. A place where you could grab a rifle and a box of shells on the way out of the door. He made it a self stander since a rack for scoped rifles would be too large to hang. I reasoned that I would only need a total of seven spots on the rack to cover my sporting needs. These needs were hunting big game and varmints. After ,purchasing three rifles this year I am in a bind. There are two defensive long guns that are excluded but now a single rifle is left with no place of permanent residence. You all will tell me I need a safe and I will agree. So must the old rack go to a new home ? Or should I give one rimfire the chop ? This plan makes no sense since I still want a semi auto .308 which will once again upset this balance. So far the only work around seems to be leaving one rifle on the gun cleaning rack perpetually. Or cased up for a theoretical outing. Then there is the mixed up left vs right bolt handle problem.
