I know what you mean. I have a 1982 S&W Model 1500 .223 bull barrel I bought new and haven't fired it yet. I have the mounts now all I need is a scope.

 

I have a Ruger Single Six that I would never part with just because it is such a thing of beauty.

 

My best deal ever.April 2006, in the box, 3 grips, papers, parts, junk barrel tool, sales receipt from 1981, barely fired. $269 on GB. Nobody bid on it, but uglier ones went for about $100 more, without anything with them. Notice the custom sights, much stronger the the stock DW sights. My first gun ever purchased on an auction site.

 

I collect a few older guns. I to like the Uberti single action revolvers. I have 2 cattleman . 1 is a cattleman bit head handle 3.5” as shown in my avatar. The other is a limited addition cattleman expendables 3.5 https://www.gunsamerica.com/userimages/3220/932251401/wm_12309105.jpg

Nothing more refreshing than some beautiful firearms.

Here are a few of mine.

We should also have a category for most dangerous looking firearms. I have a few which would fit into scary firearms you would never want to go up against.

 

Great choice in your 35 Whelen! I have one that I've toted from Alabama to the Arctic, Alaska to Namibia, and a few places in between. A 225gr Barnes X at just under 2700fps will create a heck of a hole. I will never get rid of it.

Some of my guns I've always found pretty:

 

An odd coincidence (or not) but all my pretty guns are either Winchesters or Brownings. I also have an A-Bolt 2 in a synthetic stock. But one of my projects is to get a really nice wood stock for it, which would increase the count to 5.

 

A few favourites.

 

Is the third from the top a Nagant? I have one of those too. Odd little pistol, but it has a good look and feel to it

All these guns look amazing! I love them.

 

I've already got a pretty nice Winchester 70 and didn't necessarily need another .30-06, but I couldn't pass this one up - I'm a sucker for beautiful wood.

My K-22 is nothing particularly special, but I think it's beautiful too:

 

Just fyi and NOT trying to tempt you, but there are a couple of Jack O'Connor's Al Biesen sticked rifles at Sportsman's Legacy in Kalispell MT going for $20-30K!
