i have an old double barrel cap and ball i would love to hunt with but I'm scared to death of it so it just sets on the mantle my great great grandpa bought it new way back in the day. i don't think its been shot in over 100 years. i know one of these days I'm going to take it to a smith so i can get a little more info on it. then maybe i can shoot it

I'd be all over that. Take it in today.

I have a Browning High-Wall in 45-70 that has only been to the range a couple times.  Otherwise, she just sits in the safe.  Would love to Whack an elk with her.  But, been archery hunting for over 32 years and just haven't taken her out during modern.

My dream gun is a 22-250 heavy bull barrel for 400-500 yard predator/varmit hunting.

You guys will probably think I am weird, but the 1874 Sharps Buffalo Rifle.

Good friend of mine has an original.  I have shot it, but he has killed several elk with it over the years, know he only hunts with revolvers, but he still shoots the Sharps often.  AWESOME gun.
I would rather be a conservative nut job, than a liberal with no nuts, and no job!

My grandfather gave me all of his guns when he passed. One of them was some sort of russian military gun in 7.62 I think. Another was his tried and true '06. Id like to take an animal with both. The russian gun has a dozen notches on the side. Always made me wonder if they were from animal kills or soldier kills.

I've been researching guns and rounds for a grizzly gun.  I find myself facinated with the Lazzeroni Short Magnum Galaxy (338).  Been thinking I might have to have High-Tech rifles make me one.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."
