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

[Reverend Al]

Well ... I'm standing at about 130+ guns in my collection right now and I hate to have to admit that a good 1/3 or more haven't been shot by me yet. Most of them were purchased as "retirement projects" and although I am now retired I just haven't got to them all yet. (But I'll work on that ... really I will!)

[searcher4851]

I only own a dozen or so, so they all get shot, but not as often as I'd like to.

[khmer6]

There are a few in my collection that haven't been fired and a few with less than 5 rounds down the tube. More of a pistol shooter. Can't wait to retire and spend more time on the long range

[CAVEMTNMAN]

I have 1 that has never been shot. It is a Rem.541S NIB, that I am going to give to my 3 1/2 yr.old grandson.

[km101]

Not enough! I only have about......... I don't really know how many, but I will always want more!

[UBER7MM]

Only the ones I've yet to purchase.......

[daniel lawecki]

Pretty much all of them.

[Garyshome]

If i'm not gonna shoot it I don't want it!

[rodnocker1]

25+.......but then again, I have an FFL 01 so when I find a good/great deal, I grab it!

I'll probably end up shooting them all except 1 when I find the time. It's a Weatherby Mark V Deluxe in 7mm Weatherby Mag. The man I got it from received it back in 1986 from a bank in Colorado in lieu of interest for buying a CD. They were out of Leupold scopes and it had a Pentax on it. The gun has never (except the factory test rounds) had a round through it and is absolutely MINT! Not even a fingerprint on it and the gun is approaching 30 years old. On top of that, it has a very light blond colored (rarely seen) stock rather than the darker ones commonly seen on the Mark V's. I bought the gun, hardcase, and 5 boxes of Weatherby ammo for $1,032.00 shipped. I had every intention of shooting the darn thing but when I received it and saw the shape it was in, I just couldn't take it to the range. I had visions of someone walking past and bumping it, sending it to the concrete. Then, when/if I ever got out, I wouldn't be able to possess ANY firearms (LOL) so I decided to just keep it locked up and pass it down to one of my sons.

I have a total of four rifles, two of which I have not shot: my mother's Model '95 Winchester .405, and a Remington 700 .35 Whelen which I purchased just yesterday.

[rosst]

one . . . . an as new Marlin 3030 bought a month ago - read so much about the 3030 cartridge being such a good one for cast i started buying dies etc as they came along over the last few years. Already have a winchester and a rossi in .45 so thought a marlin would be a good idea, even if its a micro grooze. Planning on putting a weaver scout mount ontop with a burris, maybe a barrel chop to get rid of the front barrel band, half mag with a short can type suppressor later on if the concept works. That woud free up my .308 for longer range work which currently i use with cast/suppressed for pest control.

cheers

[Cosmiceyes]

My answer is because the money is headed to where the gun is,and hasn't arrived yet. Thus I sort of own one,but don't,so I answered less than 2. So since zero isn't a number does my answer really count?

[500MAG]

I have at least 5 I haven't shot. Can't explain it. I won't shoot it till I'm load'n it!

[T-Dogg]

Only one that I've never shot - Mossberg 500 I bought for HD. Haven't had anywhere to go out and blast with it, range only allows shotguns for skeet shooting. I do have a couple that I haven't shot in several years, but that's going to change soon!

[remy3424]

I remember the Weatherby being offered by the Bank of Boulder on CDs in lieu of the interest being advertised in the American Rifleman when I was a kid that Rodney has. Oh ya...maybe 10 or so unshot rifles

[prsman23]

I've got a Rossi 92 in .357, a Mosin ex sniper and a couple or ARs that I haven't shot yet.
I have a few pistols that still need an outing too. A Ruger 22/45, a few Walther PP models in 32.

That's all I can think of at the moment!

I have a few on the way too. Which kind of counts right???

[jethunter]

I have some that I haven't shot but i haven't counted them.

An 38-55 SRC that needs a new buttstock before it is shootable.

A Husqvarna 9.3x62 that i got cheap years ago, but ihave actually loaded some ammo for her and she's coming out next range trip.

A M1894 winchester 32-40 with a 26" bbl, my great grandfather's rifle from his ranching days at the turn of the twentieth century. I hope to take a deer with it some time but mostly I hope to pass it on to whichever of my offspring "earns" it.

A couple antique webley and colt revolvers that will be shot in time.

Nothing high end but everything is a "classic" one way or another.

[whelenshooter]

None. I could see it happening, possibly, (probably not) if I had a lot of gun money, but now...I shoot them all and shoot them regularly.

[tygar]

Would like to say none but probably still have 20-30 that I have never fired. At least these are just because I haven't got to it.

Used to have many SAAs, both Commems & early guns + collected the Browning, Win, Colt, S&W commems.

I just couldn't stand not being able to shoot them or they would decrease in value. So, I sold almost all of them.

Kept a few that I planed to shoot, Win M-63 standard grade, 2 SAAs, a couple 22s, & a couple others. Keep meaning to shoot them but always others I want to shoot more.

Now with getting involved in rifle CBs it may be my sons that get to try them out. lol

OK ... update time ... I guess we can revise that earlier comment to about 150 now ... and most of them haven't been shot yet ...
