A little of both
At one time I was into military long guns. I was trying to get a representative sample of every US Military weapon from the Civil War up to the present.
But then I discovered AH Fox doubles and English BPE double rifles. (need I say more?)
I am accumulating my Fox collection but use some of them for hunting and some for clays. I accumulate others and use some for hunting and some just to have one of a certain type.
I guess what I do outside of Foxes is whatever is a nice gun in good original condition (can be worn and usual hunting dings and such) at a good price.
will I ever be able to use them all?? HELL NO! will I try to? No.
Ted, As a side note, if I was you I wouldn’t be accumulating ex girlfriends. I would get rid of them. What you are saying is that you didn’t actually get rid of them. That’s scary.
