My buddy and I once had the same plan as you Jeff. Now we have too many and not enough time to shoot them all. We did venture off and explore some English doubles. We also took on a few hammer guns each! There are many fine doubles out there, enjoy your future acquisitions!

Honestly, some of my guns don't get shot too much, but I do try to cycle them through when I go hunting. I could get by with my 16 EE Lefever by itself as a practical matter!
Realistically I'm looking at 10-11 guns--Parker, LC Smith, Lefever, Fox, Ithaca: these five I think of as the principle makers because of combination of long production, large numbers and quality. Sort of the classic 20th century ones. Add Remington, Baker and Winchester 21, these three I see as covering a shorter time period but made in large numbers, good quality and availability. Stevens 5000/5100/311, Winchester 24, and Iver Johnson are probably not as fine a gun, but I kind of like less expensive guns too. I've found less popular guns are hard to sell when the time comes to sell, so I try not get to get too aggressive buying them.
