I'm kinda with you Joe. I just may be a more idle fellow than you. I have some expensive guns but don't usually buy them new. I buy guns mostly used although i have just bought a Rem 700 Synthetic 243 for my wife. But new it was only 325 and has a 30 buck rebate. I also like the older guns because the quality I have always looked for seems to be in the older guns. Some of the new stuff in my usual price range is kinda junkie. Just my opinion.
As to the magazines they are printed to sell advertising, you know, so they have to promote the advertisers products. The way of the world. I kinda like Fur Fish and Game mag cause it is slanted towards us normal guys...or abby normal whichever way ya look at it!
