Culling is an admirable goal and though I have tried, I have not been able to achieve it for long. I culled from 38 all the way down to 4 with the last 6 paying for a jump back to number 5.

I thought I would stay under 8, but I am at 18 (down from 19) with 7 designated to go away as I either find a good trade or trades, or sale.

I think when the dust settles I will either be at 12 or 13 with two of those rifles, and five maybe six Christophes.

I just cant seem to let go of any of my collection of Christophe SLEs

I admit I have not shoot the rifles in several years. And I further caveat all this post with the admission that I rarely shoot more than two ( 16ga Christophe SLE & 16ga Purdey SLE) now three (just received a pair of Alex Martin 16ga SLEs) of the shotguns.

One day I may join you in reducing more, but not sure if I will be able to.
