Only 3, you my friend need more shotguns. you need a turkey gun, an upland gun for small birds like quail, another for larger upland like pheasants, goose gun, deer gun, need I say more?

well if you like to collect things fire arms are a great investment you can always sell them latter they hold better value than most things people collect .

Too many shotguns? It fair boggles the mind! I suppose, if one had over 365, that might be too many,
but every four years, there is that dratted Leap Year, so I guess you would need 366, just so you would have one to shoot and clean every day of the year. Now that brings up the question of how many gun safes is too many....

If it's hard to justify, then don't buy it. I had a beautifull Browning Japanese Model 12 20 ga in my hands last week. It was in great condition and made me smile to point it. I have always loved the looks and feel of these guns. I have wanted one for decades. It was priced right too. I put it back and walked away. A dollar in your pocket can buy you what you need or what you want. He who has money for what he needs is rich. He who buys everything he wants, ends up selling everything he has to buy what he needs.

You can never have too many guns but I think I might look at buying a new shotgun in a different ga I would say your next should be a 20 ga.

ok really guys you can have too many guns and not care for them
you only need 3 like del said
once you have too many you dont care for them properly
i would get a 20 gauge for small game and small birds
a 12 gauge for turkeys
another 12 gauge for birds and deer

I have a neighbor who has about 30 shotguns, which I think are way too many for a hunter. The downside comes about when the owner feels the need to rotate them with each one getting its fair turn out in the field, so as not to play favorites. A shooter never gets thoroughly accustomed to any one shotgun doing that. Beware the man with only one gun.

Too many 12 gauge shotguns? My mind cannot comprehend the meaning of that phrase...

Also their is never to many guns

Teach her to point and retrieve, and you'll save enough on vet bills and dog food to buy a number of new guns.

And my wife will never see that post.

Never sell guns! Did once regret it now... but like a few others said try a different gauge. I personally am becoming a big fan of the 28 ga and may even provide myself a challenge by shooting trap with one this summer

Too MANY guns? Never!

rippja,

What is nice about the price of 28 ga. shells? You can buy a lt. wt. 20, slim, ease of carrying, shoot 3" shells that can provide the 1 1/4 oz load of a 12 ga. pheasant load, or shoot light loads for small game birds, at a comparative price with 12 ga. shells, and they are easy to find.
