Default Help make a decision. Just a fun question!!

Let's suppose your wife tells you that you can only keep 3 muzzle loaders, the rest have to go. I realize that it would be the wife that probably goes instead. but for the fun of it let's say you agree. You have the following guns, Which 3 would you keep.

T/C Triumph 50 cal
T/C Omega 50 cal
T/C Hawken with the extra barrels: 1:48 twist,
50 cal. 1:70 twist, 50 cal 1:28 twist,sharpshooter 50 cal 1:24 twist, 45 cal 1:28 twist.
T/C Renegade 45 cal 1:28 barrel
Lyman GPH 54 cal 1:32
Lyman GPR 54 cal 1:60
Pedersoli Denali 50 cal
Pedersoli Kodiak Double Barrel 58 cal.
Pedersoli Gibbs .451
Remington Genesis 50 cal
Remington Genesis Buckmaster Edition 50 cal
Knight Disc Extreme thumbhole camo stock 50 cal
Knight Disc Extreme black synthetic 50 cal.
Knight Long Range Hunter laminate stock 50 cal
Knight Elite 50 cal.
Cva Kodiak Pro 45 cal
Cva Accura 45 cal camo thumbhole stock
Traditions 32 cal crockett
Lyman Great Plains pistol 54 cal.

Remember you can only keep 3 and no extra barrels. barrels would count as a gun. Wouldn't you hate to have to make this decision?

You have to got to be kidding me! You listed to many really good guns... There would have to be a very serious discussion with the wife about value and the investment I have made and how that investment is growing... And that investment is for the kids and their future - not mine...

OK in no certain order...

Knight DISC Elite
Triumph
Omega

but there should be continued discussion on the rest of the inventory before any action is taken...

I agree . It just doesn't seem possible to get it down to 3 . But if I had to I think it would be the
.451 Gibbs
The T/C Hawken with sharpshooter barrel 1:24
the Triumph


no,no,no
I have to have the Knight Disc extreme camo thumbhole
and the long range hunter.
see... it's just not posssible

Uh-uh Cayugad, he wants to know what you would keep, not what you would get rid of.
