[QUOTE="blvette75, post: 3039396, member: 72440"] Well, currently don't own any in this category. Had a couple of Mossberg Silver Reserve 12 and 20 gauge shotguns, bought and never shot and sold them both, his and hers (first wife passed breast cancer). Typically rifles will not be shot until I can get some range time, if I am traveling for my business could be up to 12-18 months as rifle range time at my range is only available during hunter sight-in. It is mainly a pistol range. The outdoor rifle range is about 2 hours away. But usually shoot what I buy, things don't stay idle long if I can get to the range. Typically buy stuff for a purposeful hunt or competition. Due to my travel schedule and life in general a hunt may get put off and then that rifle/scope set up will sit idle. At some point I will re-zero and reschedule a hunt (or buy a tag). I used to only have one rifle an old Savage 110 300 win mag that I used for everything. But things change when you are no longer dealing with a sick wife and two kids in college. I have had a couple of rifles that would not group with factory ammo, put them away until I had time to troubleshoot and adjust them or hand-load ammo for them. I guess you could have a category of guns you haven't shot for a number of years. I have a few in this category. Will I use them in the future, yep. [/QUOTE]
