Pistols, there was a 6" Model 17-4 & a no dash Model 52 S&W both NIB for years, but a collector had to have them a few years back.

Not me, bought a Remington rolling block in 32 long rim fire and had to get some Remington Kleenbore original factory ammo at $2 bucks a shot to go squirrel hunting. Damn good squirrel gravy and biscuits. Most likely the last person to ever do this

Guns I acquired but never shot (yet)

Remington 11/87 20 gauge

Browning BPS 12 gauge

DPMS AR-10 .308

Remington 597

Savage A-17's (two) sold them before shooting them.

Remington 700 ADL, .223 Remington

Not shooting due to health reasons. Soon to be rectified.

Bought a Remington 600 in 35 rem used in 1984. Been in the safe for nearly 40 years unfired.
Sig P210 nib
Hudson H9 nib
Most guns get a few rounds playing around then go in the safe for another day, pick something new and wash , rinse and repeat. Seems only 1 or 2 actually get any fire time. My Ruger American rimfire carbine gets weekly use and my Ruger Ec9 gets daily wear. Everything else are safe queens.

I have a bunch. I love guns (rifles especially) but I rarely shoot even though I have a rifle range behind the house. I am lucky if I shoot 20 rounds per year except for chipmunks off the bird feeder. I have "many" pre-64 model 70's and I have only ever shot a couple of them. The 53 FW 308 and a 41 30-06 are the only ones I believe.

I don't understand the question, doesn't make any sense.

Several milsurps purchased when they were dirt cheap. K31,Mosins, mas36, Destroyer carbines. Steyer 95, Turk Mausers and others.

Remington 581.

Ruger Single Six 32 mag.

Only one.... A Russian SKS in a laminated stock that was an arsenal rebuild and has yet to be fired since then. Guy I know had an FFL back in 1995 and bought a crate or two of them. IIRC they came ten to a crate. Quoted me a price of 225 bucks and I jumped on it. Been in the safe ever since; gets out every 6 months or so for a wipe down and visual check. I already had a Norinco SKS purchased new in 1992 and in 2013 I picked up a used one just for grins. Don't even shoot those two very much and the Russian is still pristine & unfired. May just sell it one of these days as I'm downsizing in retirement.

I have a number of nib , with a wide range of styles and calibers. bought to keep new. from rem 66, to win model 70 , and so on.

I have some I don't shoot much anymore but I have never owned one I didn't shoot. Safe queens are not my style. I buy guns to shoot and hunt with.

Own but not shot.....that's funny!

Only one. A CVA Kit 36 cal cap & ball revolver I put together back in the 80's. No good reason, just never fired it. May get around to it someday.

I just picked up a Rem 760 in 308. Haven’t fired a round. Still too cold here.

I have Granddads 760 30-06 I’ve never shot. I never knew the man since he died the year I was born.

Dads Remington Model 81 .300 Savage I’ve never shot.

Have a Winchester Stainless Classic in .308 I’ve never shot.

I almost forgot I have a mosin nagant that still has some cosmoline on it, and an unopened giant sardine can that containes 440 rds that I paid $99.99 for both 30 some odd years ago. Still unfired I even bought an arc angel stock for it because the wood stock looked like it got runover by a tank that too is collecting dust.

The Ruger 77 MK11 Swift I bought a few months ago, at the Smith getting the trigger done 1 1/2 lbs. going to sight it in at the hog hunt.

A bubba g33/40 in 7.92mm I inherited……

Kimber Talkeetna 375 and a remington 700 lss 7mm mag.

Ruger M77 tanger in 7 x 57. I've had it for 3-4 years and have not gotten past making up some loads for it. Too many other projects firearms and otherwise. I'll get it out to the range when the weather warms up a bit.
