Your goal. Take it out and shoot it.

Help Support Ruger Forum:

I have actually thought of taking out a particular caliber and burning up all the ammo I have then selling the brass and guns as a method of divesting my collection.
Sold my Win 71 and found 100 loaded shells. Have to pull the bullets, de-prime them and list them for sale!

Been retiling the floor, renovating the hall, two cedar closets and re-doing the basement bathroom. Haven't got into the reloading room in over a year-who knows what is there?? (458 Win brass, 338 Win ammo & brass, 38-40, 45-70 & 45-90??) Likely a BP rifle or pistol, a Gamo air rifle?
 
I have made a commitment to do this very thing. I have been taking one rifle and one handgun to range and relearning how they shoot.

I recently took my Marlin 25 MN (22 mag) with a Simmons scope and was impressed with its accuracy.

I have accumulated a number of firearms and am trying to build the mindset of downsizing. Shooting them may not be the best way build the mindset but I sure have been having fun.
 
I typically get something out of the back of the safe on every range trip. Usually with a "theme", i.e. .30 Caliber Day where I get out the .30 Carb OM BH and IBM M1 Carb, along with the .308 M77 MkII, or .45 day where the 1911's, LC, and .450 Bushmasters get to take the trip. Next range trip will be -06 day. Need to re-zero the elk gun, but will also take out my 1903, No. 1, the boy's Savage 110, and of course the Garand.
 
Like you, mine is a model 19. Been in the safe too much.

With either a shooting ban or mud I have yet to shoot several of my new acquisitions. When I lived in the city we would drive out to the desert every few months. But now in the forest it seems there is a smaller window.

I did just purchase a CVA 44 mag single shot rifle that I really want to shoot. On top of that I have purchased several Rugers this year that remain un-fired. There are ranges East and West of me but not that close. I think I'll start a thread about that...
 
It's easy to fall behind, but also easy to catch up. When the time and conditions are right.
