I have over 600 rifles, most of which I have never shot and probably won't. I have probably shot 150+/- different rifles during the past three years, keep 100+/- scoped and ready to go, but probably don't shoot more than 50+/- during any twelve month period. Those that I shoot the most are 17HM2, 17HMR, 22LR, 22Mag, 204Ruger, 223, 22-250, 243, 6BR, 25WSSM, 257Roberts, 257AI, 25-06, 260, 6.5Creedmoor, 6.5x55, 270, 7x57, 280, 7mmSAUM, 7.62x39, 30-30, 308, 30-06, and 8x57.
I would guess that 9 time out of 10, I have regretted selling or trading a firearm within a short time of doing so, so I just buy what I want and seldom sell or trade.
Sort of a Hotel California philosophy,
"Relax, said the night man, we are programmed to receive, you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave."
I keep firearms and hunting kit in Colorado, New Hampshire, and South Dakota so that I don't have to fly with a lot of hunting kit or firearms.
