My "collection" is pretty practical as a whole. It all gets shot, and just about everything has a purpose. The only real exception to that is my milsurps. My goal in milsurp collecting isn't to amass an example of every variant of a particular rifle...I just want a single example of each rifle that I'm interested in so I can shoot it and see how it performs and compares to it's contemporaries. As such, those get shot a lot too. None of them are pristine, and most aren't even 100% correct, but it's fun learning the different actions and sighting systems and seeing how they perform on paper and steel.
Just owning them and caring for them is kind of a chore...the fun lies in shooting them!
