Geez, I'd keep the Abby gun (12 gauge) and one other small bore Fox shotgun to hunt Grouse. I'd keep my CH 16 gauge and my 32" 16 gauge Sterlingworth for doves. One model 52 for squirrels. I'd keep my Browning Low Wall in .260 Remington for deer and probably my Glock for protection. Everything else is probably gravy for the most part.

John and Rich, my tang safety Ruger 7MM RM has shot into about 1 1/2" for its entire life except the year after I had to retrieve it from a lake in Northern Ontario and didn't dry it out properly. The next year, it strung the group vertically about two inches. Most of the superimposed groups make one ragged hole of an inch or less.

What little I have used Joe's Ruger it has always been a very acurate rifle. I hadn't shot it in years and when I decided to take it to Wyoming three shots at the range were well within an inch. I have another tang safty Ruger (actually It's just the action) I used for a custom rifle in .416 Taylor. for a big bore it's very accurate as well.

I have an old tang safety M77 in 25.06 Paid $200.00 at a pawn shop a couple years ago. That heavy barrel is super accurate, 1/2" groups at 200 yards with
Federal factory rounds.The gun is ugly as hell but it shoots like a dream.
