6 guns no way, I have trouble staying at 25
 But I have tried to stay on theme, waterfowl guns, and I have tried to keep upgrading grade and condition. My favorite guns are one of just a few examples and in original but not necessarily high condition. I'm not big on super high condition common guns. |

At one time I had 6 rifles in 7X57 now I'm down to three. I might be able to handle 6 straight grip, 6 pistol grip, 6 splinter forearm, 6 BTF ect

The rifle collection could use some additions. That will happen

Be very careful Mills your treading on a slippery slope

I still think it's good to have a theme when collecting, it could be one of a thousand themes but collect what floats your boat. I have a bunch of friends who love vintage side by sides but we rarely run up against each other. We have a Ithaca guy, a condition guy, a 32" small bore guy, a one in every gauge Parker guy, a fixer up guy, a new one every week guy, a Sterlingworth guy, etc. I love my big waterfowl guns and they make me smile everytime I take them off the rack and swing on an imaginary duck.
I don't try to understand rifle guys, to me they hold little interest but I am 100% sure they get the same high from handling their favorite rifle. |

I grew up hunting quail, dove, crows and rabbits. Quail hunting will always be special and I will always have a few quail guns. But the long barrels work on dove and crows so I need a few of them as well. Themes are difficult when you have multiple likes!!
