How many hunting rifles do you have?

[Bowmannate2000]

I jump from .22 to .30. cal. Kids are getting to hunting age soon, so will probably look for something in between... I started on 30-06 though, so I'm sure my kids can handle it if needed (could even do reduced loads).

That's a bunch-O-crap. Every one of my rifles has a definite purpose. I'm almost covered for species. Next I'll cover caliber for weather conditions. Then I'll work on having each in the correct color etc.

Wood and blue for red flannel and blue jeans.
Stainless and synthetic for the new age camo.

6-8 for me right now, I got rid of at least 10, but can never have too many rifles

More than I need. I’d love to thin them out but have stupid sentimental value attached to them.

 

[Birdbander]

One.
If I ever draw a Michigan elk tag I'll buy one more.

According to my shrink, I'm strictly an archery hunter and only own a shotgun that was passed down from my grandfather

Wood and blue for red flannel and blue jeans.
Stainless and synthetic for the new age camo.

I will admit that I am addicted to stainless laminate rifles.

Four...two 22 lr's, a 270 win for stand hunting, and a 450 bushmaster AR-15 for deer drives. I've sold all the rest. Now shotguns...well that's an entirely different ball game.

More than I need but less than I want.

Accurate.

Please give an interpretation of "need" please. I understand "want".

 

[cgasner1]

I use to have quite a few. Till one day we had a boat accident.

 

[MThuntr]

Nice try ATF...I'm not telling you

I think it was Phil Graham that said the quote about guns when ran for president. Needless to say, it didn’t work for him.

Have a handful or two, goal is to kill something with each one. Only have a few that haven't seen blood yet.

 

[Speeddmn]

I have whats required, Ive debated of slimming down, but dont wanna! So I keep looking for more, just incase!

 

[Pucky Freak]

I’ve sold 4, one of which I’m still kicking myself for 9 years later.

I have just 2: 6.5 & .17

I eventually plan on getting a .357 for my kid to shoot, and a 45-70 for me.

 

[Benfromalbuquerque]

One. I own a 30-06. All else which I may or may not own is unnecessary redundancy. The OP asked “hunting rifles”. Not iterations of .24, .25, .26, .27, .28 which is all “other”. More then .30-something diameter is “other plus”. Because you could kill a deer with a manbun or you could kill a grizzly with a .50 BMG, but you should only kill both with a 30-06.

 

[CoHunter1991]

I don’t disagree, my first gun was a 3006 and I still love that thing. I’m definitely leaning to not buying a 7th for sure
