If money was no object how many guns would you own. I am only dreaming, but if I had endless money to spend on guns I would own at leat one custom, and at least one maybe more of factory (stock) models of almost every caliber starting at the .17's going all the way up to a very expensive 600 or 700 double nitro express by H&H. I would do the same with shotguns and pistols. If that dream was reality my personal gun collection would number in the 100's. Am I weird or does anyone else ever think along the same lines as me?

BBJ, ya that would be nice, I admit that I like reloading and find it rewarding and love to shoot guns a lot, but when it comes to the hunting part I still perfer my bow. Not saying that I wouldn't add in a few rifle hunts during the year if money was not a problem.

i would build my own buy taking a a gunsmithing course (which i plan on doing once i get out of school and get some money) i already have 7 guns i think i would like somthing like a 338lapua mag and possiably a 50 BMG just so i can say i have one. i would also like a a nice over and under such as a borwning Cynergy and a HK SL8-1 so my total would be 12 guns. a good even number. i would also like to get into reloading.

RE: How Many Guns?
I would Have an Add on built to my house so I could keep all my guns. I would Also Like a rifle In every caliber Up to a 375 H&H posible a few Nitro's If I had a replacement shoulder lined Up.
More than I could ever shoot regularly. I'd probably buy guns and never shoot them at all, just because I could. Of course, if I were rich enough to buy all the guns I could ever want, I'd be rich enough to own a guns store to buy and sell them. I believe inventory is tax deductable!
I have been lucky enough to have owned NOT ALL but a big majority of the guns I wanted. I was a gun dealer for 15 years are so. I did have to trade a lot to try other that I wanted to try. I would no a lot of hunting with the money more than buying guns but I for sure would pick up a few more. Nothing to big as I woul;d then have to hire someone to shoot them as well.

Same here I want to have a huge and I mean huge underground gun/archery shop/reloading /camping gear/ room. It would be at least 50' by 50' and have a 100 yard by 50' indoor shooting range attached. It would be built so I could shoot anything from my bows on up to the biggest rifles (like the 50 BMG) with no problems. Being a contractor my brothers and I have sat down and come up with a house plan design (for the basement anyway) to build it. The only draw back is that basement would cost almost $500,000 alone just in supplies. I guess if I am going to dream I might as well dream big.

The above fits me too includeing owning a gun shop for about 20 years.
At some point in your life, "quality" instead of "quantity" kicks in!! I don't have as many guns as i use to and that's fine with me, but the ones i have now, are a heck of a lot better quality that those i sold and traded off!!
I'd much rather have 5 high quality guns than 30 average ones!!! (or more)
How Many Guns?
