I’ve got one, but 4 different barrels.
2x 26” dasher barrels, 1x 26” 6.5x47 barrel, and 1x 18” 308 barrel. Currently looking for a surgeon 223 bolt and barrel

A man that knows how many guns he has doesn't have enough.
I agree with this! Although the other day I was not sure, I knew it was one of two numbers though, haha!
I know people, but have not seen for sure that say they have 100, one guy collects says he has around 4,000! Not sure about that
3.. a little savage .22. A little Marlen .17HMR and a Barrett MRAD in 338... everything in the middle is. Semi .. lol
Allways just 1 “NEW” one.
And if my wife thinks this one looks different, I just barrow her line whenever she buys new shoes and clothes.. “Oh, honey,,, this is really old, you just forgot you have seen it before”

A friend wouldn’t ask and a gentleman wouldn’t tell!
I use this formula for limiting the number I have: N+1, where N is the number my wife will tolerate, and 1 is the one more that will cost me in a divorce. I currently own N.
Need more then 2 hands to count and I sold a few here or there. Looking for two more. But I'm not married and my gf hasn't asked yet so, Im thinking about getting as many as I can before she does. Some are for hunting, some for long range, and some are just old guns I randomly stumbled onto in gun shops.
If you're scared of her response after asking, then don't make her your wife.
I just did things the right way. I bought Rebecca her own guns and I also let her shoot mine as she pleases.
My bolts:
Rem 700 - .17 Rem
Rem 722 - .222 Rem
Rem 700 - .233 Rem
Savage 10 - .308 Win
Have a 308 Rem 700 on the way, so might turn the Savage into a 6.5 CM or 6 CM. After that, I think I'm done and will just shoot.

I had an unfortunate accident and lost them all in a boating accident this year.
Not scared. Had the discussion that hunting and shooting will always be part of my life. Just as things progress in life, I wont be able to justify buying more toys when a house is on the list of things to buy. I have already forewarned her that the basement will be my domain and a dedicated reloading room will be built.
screwed up and in the process of building a new shop. wife wants to catalog my guns before they get put back in the safes so she will know what i have and about what they are worth if something happens to me. i told her only way id let her be involved was she couldnt say one word when we finished . im sure that wont work but it is a good idea. i have about half of them cataloged with amounts but ive sold some and bought some since then.
My wife helped me photo catalog mine. The number didn't surprise her one bit.
Like mentioned previously, mine are in an excel spreadsheet (with all the notes on upgrades, glass, triggers etc.). It gets done about every year or so, and put on a memory stick or disk, and dropped off at the bank safety deposit box. God forbid my wife sell them when I die, for what I told her I paid...

Bring back from the 1980's trip to what was then Czechoslovakia? Sorry couldn't help myself when you set it up so nicely LOL.
and i just wanna collect and shoot them all so got a long way to go and a short time to get there. going to do my best .
Just two these days. Remington 700 PSS .308 in an XLR Element, and an SMLE III*. Enough guns in total I have my safe up for sale as I had to upgrade my storage. Not hundreds, but enough I am well into the um... let me go count area when asked how many.
Not sure why so many boating accident responses. Keep thinking that people who refuse to admit they have any specific firearms on the internet because of the durned gubmint agents maybe should just not answer. Maybe not be online at all?

So what is the "minimum" and what is "over the top?" Inquiring minds would like to know.
I would say minimum is having 1 rifle for a specific use. Over the top would be more of having 20 rifles for each specific use. I see no problem with “over the top” by the way!
Ah, the $10,000 insurance limit. Yeah. When you have one electro-optic device that exceeds the limit.
I often reminded the kids when going to the range that this case in the back of the car is worth more than the car.

How many does my wife think I own or how many do I actually own. There is a little discrepancy in the numbers 
Everyone owns one less than they should.
And after they get another, they then own
one less than they should.
