I can own every gun I want, just not all at the same time. I've sent close to 200 down the road over the years
That's the same for me. I've bought and sold lots.
I have a few family rifles that will never go anywhere until they go to one of my kids. Nothing fancy really. Remington 700 30-06. .30-40 krag, a couple .22s and shotguns from the grandpa's.
I do regret selling two rifles though. Sorta... One was a marlin 45-70 but I didn't like the straight stock or 18" barrel. So I sold it but regretted not having a 45-70 anymore. Picked up a 22" with the pistol grip stock and love it.
The second was a cz550 in .458wm. it was just cool to pull out and shoot. Doubt I'll ever replace it as I have no need.
Everything else gets bought to enjoy and then sold when I'm done with it. Been through a closet full of savage/Stevens rifles in various calibers because they were cheap, shot well, and gave me something to play with.
I'm about to get a flintlock from a friend. And as long as it shoots well it'll never go anywhere either.
