I have downsized to a seven rifle gun safe. My inventory is currently at six.
I have two 1:28 twists because my grandson is joining the hunt. I have a 1:66 twist for reaching back in yesteryear hunts. I have two centerfires (.270 / .300WSM) and one shotgun with an extra rifled barrel.
I have room for one more in my safe and that may someday be a 45-cal Knight with fast 1:20 twist. That'll offer me a wide array....... 1:20/..... 1:28/.....1:66. Never been a fan of the 1:48s, which shoot most-everything alright, but nothing specifically really good.
Sold all my 54 and 58-cals. Only hunt deer and smaller game. Only desire guns that will see every year or every-other-year hunting woods, which here in Michigan is November 15-30 ..... then again a 10 day muzzleloader season in early-mid December.
Concerning myself and not grandson, two muzzleloaders and two centerfires are plenty for that short hunting season. Seems crazy when reading some posters here have 30-40+ MLs, even three useable models that are exactly the same.
To me, that's ridiculous.
