So I kept just a few, which I shot or which had sentimental value, told my sons to take whatever else they wanted, and have been thinning the herd for the past 20 years.
It's sort of like downsizing your house when you get old.


Agree. I will be selling my life long collection shortly. I have guns in my safe that I have had built, bough and traded for over 40 years. Most of them have never been shot. Not sure of the best way to sell them. When the time comes, I will sell them cheap to other hunters/ shooters that I know will enjoy and shoot them...
