    None, never seen any reason to have a rifle and not shoot it.

    If I do not shoot them I do not keep them. I go through the safe from time to time, and if there is a firearm in there that has not seen use in a couple of years, it is gone. I do not get very attached to inanimate objects.

    Ha Ha I just got thinking about this and if I include the firearms on layaway there is around 14 plus I have never shot yet as i am still paying off the cost of them.

    I voted on this thread almost 2 years ago and I have added two more rifles I've never shot.

    I don't keep anything that doesn't work except for parts. Function, repair, restore, in process, for sale, donate to a museum or give away to someone who will make better use of it. That's vehicles, farm equipment, firearms etc. doesn't matter...they are equipment and need to work.

    I have 3 that are in different levels of being able to shoot. 2 that just need to be zeroed in, and 1 that needs rings for the scope. One of the ready for zero rifles is almost 2 years old, and I swore to myself that I am going to get them all ready and shot at least once by the end of January. (Maybe 2018, but probably 2019) lol

    How many rifles do you have you've never shot?

    None, but I do have two unfired handguns, and a third that I haven't shot.

    I have a number of them that I haven't shot. But they may not be shootable. These are antiques. Some I bought to use the actions to convert them to something else. Some I wanted to repair and refurbish and maybe shoot too.

    I have 20+ mosin nagants I've never shot. Mostly Finn variants that were more for collecting than shooting (few that are shooters though). Some trapdoors I've never shot.

    shoot every one of mine, every chance I get, wow cant imagine owning a gun and not shooting it! That's like owning a Maserati and not driving it, seems wrong somehow. Oh well different thinking out there to each their own I guess.

    Guns you can’t shoot. Beer you can’t drink. Boobs you can’t squeeze occasionally. Not in my house by god.

    Most of em. I think I have only shot two or three. I'm more of a sixgun guy, but I still collect rifles whenever I see a fine deal.
