What gun do you own (or have owned) that you shoot the least?

I have several, mostly shotguns because I don't hunt much any more.

However I am not going to sell them, a lot of memories connected to them.
Plus I'll hand them down to my son.....some day.
(He just graduated college-so I doubt he'll have a ton of time to shoot anyways!
There is one in my C&R collection that I won't shoot a lot for several reasons:
1) Ammo is a bit expensive, although available (And no I don't reload - yet)
2) Recoil on it is stout - to say the least!
I'm 6ft/200lbs and in fairly good shape - never been recoil -sensitive

Here is the gun I am talking about:

Steyr M95 - 8X56r


What say you?:rolleyes:
 
I have several firearms that I don't often shoot. I probably ought to sell the rarely fired ones with no sentimental value and use the money to get some that I'll shoot more.


I've got a Mauser (Chilean?) in 7.62x51, a Yugo Mauser, a Taurus PT99, a CZ52 pistol, a Winchester model 52 and a single shot 20 gauge that haven't been out of the safe in years. I probably should sell the 7.62 Mauser and the two handguns to someone who will use them.
 
I have two Steyr M 95 carbines and they will get your attention when you pull the trigger.
I thought my M 38 Mosin Nagant Carbines kicked, but that little Steyr is a real eye opener. But what a fun little gun to shoot. :eek:
 
Any of my 22s, because ammo is still hard to find around here and I do not want to burn my brick and a half too quickly.
 
I haven't had a chance to shoot my shotguns much over the last couple of years. It's unfortunate because I really enjoy shooting clays or pheasant hunting.
 
I have many that I don't shoot often my oldest is a 1812 Pa. long rifle in 36 cal. it will be shot again on the 4th of July.
 
My Browning BPS10. Until I start reloading for it, it is Waaay too much for a round of trap.
Hunting doesn't use much ammo.
 
My only gun that I've never fired is an all matching 1941 byf Luger. Got it in 1998 and it's almost like new, hardly ever fired and gently handled. Fortunately I have a mixed numbers 1913 DWM that I DO fire!
 
I'm with Quentin, got a couple of nice Lugers and Mausers, and only shoot one of them, the others are just too nice to consider the reduction in value that accrues if one (gasp) actually shoots them.

I don't like it, but I don't make the market.
 
Model 24 side by side double barrel 20 ga shotgun. First gun I ever owned. Last shot pheasant hunting in the 1970's.
 
Taurus 94 in .22

The most horrendous trigger pull. It sits in a dark corner of the safe. Hate it and don't know what to do with it.
 
I have a nothing-special shotgun that has been idle since I moved on from bird hunting.

Among the handguns, the least shot is a Libia .25ACP (an inexact Spanish copy of a 1906 Browning vest pocket pistol). It was inherited, so I keep it around for sentimental reasons and a conversation piece. I have shot it a couple of times, but only for fun, as I have other pistols I enjoy more.
 
I inherited some guns from my dad that I've never fired, and, as far as I know, have never been fired in my lifetime.
Of the guns that I have shot, I think I've put 30-40 rounds each through Colt pocket hammerless .32 and .380.

McMiller is close and open 4 days a week. Maybe 5.

There's also Boxhorn on Big Muskego. Their sporting clay area is pretty nice.




As for the thread I have a Marlin 22 magnum with 15 shells through it. Haven't found ammo since christmas and I bought the last box on the shelf.
 
Of late, all of them. Haven't had much opportunity since the move.

More in keeping with the actual spirit of the thread, I would say my 1895 Nagant. Hands down. Haven't owned any ammo for it in quite a little bit.

We all love pics, so humbly I submit this:
