Sounded like a crazy question to me until I thought about it and realized I have two or maybe three I have never fired. Gotta do something about this soon!

Pass the gravy.

If it doesn't get used, it goes down the road. I have a couple of my father's rifles that will be passed down. Those are the only exceptions.

Unless it's a collector type item, I just can't understand owning one you don't shoot.

I have two that belonged to my grandfather that belong to me now. My father picked them up earlier this year and is keeping them for me until I can get back home. I will shoot them.

Only one. The last Winchester Custom Shop Model 70 7mm-08 ever made. Saving it for a buddy's daughter.

Just one, its a marlin ssv 22 mag new in box. I have another similar, but an older model. Waiting on scope, its at post office today and may mount it when I get back. Also have a model 60 on the way that is new in the box, but an older model, and a marlin ss 22. bolt action on the way, but its used. Never shot any of them.
Recently got a gym membership, strange folks! I like to show up the roid zombies with my full motion curls with the 55lb. bells. Not their cheater short stroked light weights. It's holarious.

I have 20+ rifles/pistols that my grandpa left me and I have only shot a handful. The only one I shoot on a yearly basis is the 1951 Winchester Model 70 in .243
All three of my kids will kill their first deer with this gun.
That's quite a collector's item...seeing as how the 243 wasn't introduced until '55..

I see several ads in the classifieds saying that people are looking to sell guns and they have never shot them. I am curious... I have 7 firearms that I have yet to shoot, although none are collector items. How about you? May be true "THEY" have never shot the gun. I've gotten guns in on trade as part of partial cash/gun trades and that is usually when I don't fire a gun. Otherwise if I BUY IT I shoot it !
