    I feel I should ban you for not trying hard enough, Ray.

    If you can easily count them you haven't got enough.

    My hero. I bet you could use any one of them to hit the bucket. Don't listen to the detractors. Half of them probably don't even own a Theoben.....

    I did know once Paul. Honestly, it would be a guess now.

    I'm gradually reducing it now to focus on the older stuff, and I'll keep the modern ones I use. Space has run out and insurance is a nightmare.

    To many guns?
    Excuse me Sir but are you certifiable INSANE?!?

    Gun cabinet?
    *ell no, i´ve got a literal gun room. A bunker if you wish, yeah that and a couple of cabs too, and no it still isn´t filled to the brim. Sorry to say.

    Next you know it i´ll have to much ammo too according to some.

    I think the most I've ever owned at one time was 11. (All sub 12 ft lb rifles) What an amateur I was/am!!

    After I got my FAC 15 years ago I of course spent/concentrated more on "proper" guns ie. .223, .17 HMR and .22 with a couple of FAC-rated air rifles thrown in. That meant there was little or no point in me owning sub 12 fpe guns I wasn't really using outside of my HFT rifle and a garden plinker so my collection thinned out. Shooting is an expensive hobby so financial constraints played a part as well I suppose. The more money you have to throw in to your hobby - the larger your collection is likely to be I guess(?) I'd liken it to vehicle owners in many respects. Just because you don't drive em every day doesn't mean the pleasure of ownership disappears.

    These days I'm down to (sub 12 fpe) 4 air rifles and 2 air pistols. When I retire, that number is likely to increase (hopefully).

    As for the "Too many guns?" question. Each to their own I guess but my own opinion is that if you've reached the stage where you don't actually know how many you have, you've probably got "too many".
