I discovered fairly recently that my "addiction" is really cartridges. Yep, I love the platforms where they might be found; I revel in 'this lever vs. that lever' or 'this bolt vs. that bolt' comparisons (first hand mostly, not 'net feuds) but what draws me most is the cartridges. The '06 is a wonderful cartridge and probably about the only one a fella would ever need for mid to semi-large game. Hell, I have four and I just don't shoot them. There just isn't anything left to be discovered there (maybe?). The odd-ball and the obsolete provide a couple of attractions. One is rediscovering what they were all about when they hit the streets, e.g. .256 and .35 Newton. Another attraction is to get something up and working again that's been gone for decades, e.g. 9.3x57R. There is also the appeal of being absolutely certain you're the only one in the woods with one of these!
