I would say all of it, but maybe not in the order you listed them.
Buying them is fun because I am finally at a point in my life where I can purchase things I like and not have to go into debt to do it.
Waiting on it to arrive is fun because it feels like the anticipation I felt as a kid waiting for my birthday or Christmas.
Modifying is fun as well if it works. I usually don't mod but I do tinker with adjustments on mine.
Shooting is very fun. Whether it is shooting targets or squirrels I enjoy it and like the discipline of being accurate.
All of my friends are into rimfire so I get made fun of for my "toys" but I think at least one of them is coming around. I do get asked to bring my guns to gatherings so they can shoot them.
I am definitely collecting, see my other topic about my latest purchase. I am thinking of collecting UK made guns to give my collecting a bit of focus.
I'm not familiar with getting rid of things....
Always enjoy meeting and learning new things from new people.
#9 for me would be learning as much as I can about the hobby, and practicing to always get better at it.
