Bugger, we ain't talking about how many guns you have. It's cartridge and shell cases. But since you brought it up I have a few scaterguns. Actually a few more than I had 20 years ago. This is part of one of 'em. Part of another that I was shootin' a few weeks back with brass shells and Lord Black If that's not a Purdy, It sure is purdy.

It’d be like driving your Ferrari down a mud road. 😀

It’d be like driving your Ferrari down a mud road. 😀 I do hunt with them on occasion, but not pigs. Quail mostly, a gentleman’s pastime. My dad taught me many years ago how to avoid damaging a fine scattergun. One of my primary bird guns is a Win 50 purchased in ‘63 as my Xmas gift. It has a small scratch in the receiver and a couple of petite marks on the stock, but otherwise looks new. Full size p’up couldn’t haul the critters it’s killed in one load. Because it’s an average Joe gun, much like the Ithaca 37 I do whack 4 legged critters with them.
I am..........disturbed.

Index? Well I have special ordered a rifle and then traded it for a new rifle before shooting it and then gone back and eventually bought it back again. Lol
Gotta try one of everything. Bought rifles because I had dies or ammo for it.
I am as loony as any of you I imagine...

And for some reason shotguns are just tools. Got a parkerized, synthetic Stevens 320 20 gauge and a crappy old single shot.
I wouldn't turn down a beautiful and expensive shotgun of course but there's just not the mystique for me that a rifle has.
About the same with handguns.

Bugger, we ain't talking about how many guns you have. It's cartridge and shell cases. The chances of disclosing the amount of ammo etc. is "slim to not at all likely!"
I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

Steve, rocks don’t count, sorry.
I’m puzzling about one possible aspect of this discussion. Does one get extra credit for shooting a muzzle loading cartridge rifle? As I recall some loony named Pope thought that up.

PS: I have one BTW. It’s a Highwall with an octagon barrel, big assed Unertl scope and chambered for .38-55 basic brass. .40 caliber...

Said i never had much use for one. Never Said I didn't know how to use one. Well said. I am a general gun loony, though hunting rifles would rank first and hunting shotguns a very close second. (The only problem with shotguns is they don't come in as many different chamberings as rifles.) But I also have decent array of handguns, and know how to use them.
