Interesting point. One could do a cost-analysis comparing the cost of a rifle in a less common caliber versus spending the same amount of money on ammo for a common-caliber firearm. My choice was to stock up on ammo but only because I shoot military surplus (7.62 x39 & 54) which are relatively cheap. More expensive rounds might swing the math to adding a different rifle.

Hmmm, maybe you could use such a math-analysis to win over a reluctant spouse. "See, I actually save money if I buy XXX rifle!" <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
