Just cleaning the safe today and seen a few Rifles that I have yet to shoot. Wether I bought them cause I got a good deal, or they are projects on hold, or just "needed" it. Seems like everyone I talk to has at least one. Most have a few though.
Including the new ones from last week.
I am at over 10 probably closer to 15 that I have never pulled the trigger on. The majority of these are just passed down to me from grampa with in the last week.
Anyone else care to confess?

Virgin rifles??? Are you kidding? I always pop the cherry within an hour of bringing a virgin home (rifle that is).

Seen you had one more post then Me. So I had to reply to even things up. Pretty sure I just got 12 new to me firearms. Some need work to be safe. And some just need ammo that I don't have yet Hopefully this weekend that # will shrink.

I have a few barrels that haven't been screwed into things, but in general complete guns don't even make it to the house without becoming more worldly.

Marlin 336 .30-30, purchased used several years back. Have carried it while hunting but never pulled the trigger.
Custom Interarms Mark X/Krieger/Boyd JRS 6.5-06AI. Delivered to me just before elk hunting season last fall. Might take it antelope hunting this fall.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

You hunt with a gun you haven't sighted in? Oh boy. ![[Linked Image]](http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n23/jlcpls/smileypopcorneating.gif)

I never did have the ability to buy a rifle and let it just sit in the safe...or the money to do that for that matter. If I buy them they get shot..  CLB

I know I really need to get out and get a few shot, purchased these in the last year
Got way to busy last summer and this past fall I spent about every extra minute on an archery stand.
Just running through my mind I can think of the following I've never done anything with and now I guess I know why I'm broke.
.22 lr x3 (CZ, Reminton, & custom 10/22)
.17 hmr x1 (Savage)
22-250 x1 (Rem XP-100r)
.221FB x1 (Rem XP-100)
.257 x1 (Rem SPS)
.22 Hornet x2 (CZ & Ruger)
.38 x1 (1911)
Life is just one damned thing after another

I have no virgin rifles, but I have a used replica Remington Model 1858 cap and ball revolver which I have never fired - so she's a virgin to me

As bad as I hate to admit it I have a couple. I am sure I needed them at the time I bought them but can't remember now why I needed them. I do plan on shooting a couple of them though as soon as the weather warms up.

None. They all get shot or they get sold.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
