I picked up a 375 H&H mag from my neighbor (he was on the way to a pawn shop to sell).

I picked up a 338 win mag (BAR) custom edition at an RMEF banquet.

I bought 2 SKS's when the Brady bill passed just because it pissed me off.

i know a guy who has around 300 long guns he has never shot. The first man i've ever heard admit that he has too many guns. Yes, he is still buying more.
"Right now, I am thinking that If my grandmother was here, she would be lecturing me about how there are poor people in Africa, that would just love to have a Ruger, I would just say "Great, granny, lets just ship all the Rugers to Africa!"

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

there is some amazing history in those gun safes.

I was sure this was a big fat zero for me, but I realized I have a winchester model 12 in 16 gauge my neighbor gave to me last year.  I haven't bought any ammo for it yet.

I bought a 10/22 for my son a few months back and he is too damn lazy to go out to the range & learn how to shoot it. 'bout ready grab him by the scruff of the neck and make him sight it in on that damn Xbox he hasnt put down since school got out!!

Then I also have a stainless Colt Mustang Pocketlite .380 I've never shot. Already have one in the blued version so I know how it shoots already but I still need to get out & fire this one.

Last is a stainless Colt Pony Pocketlite DAO .380. It is brand new in the case and never been fired. So far I like fondling it too much with that in mind to actually pop the cherry so it sits lonely in the safe while all the others go out to play... Nasty long trigger pull anyway so I'm not sure if I want to shoot it all that bad!
I aint superstitious - cuz its bad luck!

25... Roughly.
I don't like to tell the world what I have in my safe but that's a close estimate.  Mostly Model 88 and 100  Winchester's as well as bunch of Model 12 Win's and I have a fascination with Model 722 Remington's so have a bunch of those also.

 I buy and sell often so I don't have time to take them all out.  A lot of them are investments also so I choose to not shoot them.  My kids will appreciate it down the road as I am appreciating what my Dad and Grandpa have collected over the past 60 years.

I got a winchester 94 buffalo bill commemorative rifle with an octagon barrel that I've never shot and a winchester modal 88 in 308 and a very old pistol my grandfather found in a old box with some gold coins when he was plowing a field when he was in his early 20's
