Guns you've not killed with

Jerry's post got me thinking.
What guns have you taken hunting, but have not yet bagged an animal with yet?
Currently for me:
Win M70 375 H&H
Win M70 25-06
1903 30-06
And honorable mention:
M70 CRF 25-06 I took out last year and missed a goat with. That is the gun being shipped back soon as a 400 Whelen.

Toted my SKS a time or two without pulling the trigger.
Edit.
I have two shotguns Ive hunted with and never took game.
Last two years have been primarily with the Ruger Scout - nothing yet there.

2 .308s. One is a Winchester Model 88 rifle (the first one of my current collection), and the other a M88 carbine.
A 1917 Enfield 30-06 WWI battle rifle that was given to me by a friend. It has been sporterized and rebarrelled. I don't think I've even shot it. The friend who gave it to me is a Korean War vet, and pushing 90. He claims his father used this very rifle in WWI, and was allowed to keep it after the war. I don't know if that was done back then, but my friend believes it.
My dad's Savage 110 30-06. He took about 20 deer and an elk with it, so I know it's been well used. I plan to give it to my son when I get the chance, and may never take it out myself. My dad got it for Christmas in 1961. It's the only centerfire rifle he ever owned that I know of.
Gun control laws make about as much sense as taking ex-lax to cure a cough.

Most is feather or small game hunting; my only shotgun adequate for such activity has seen its share of use in the field.
So far would like to blood the following: FN SA-22 (Open sights), Ruger 10/22TD (Red dot), Winchester 1906 and J.C. Higgins 31 (Scoped); others have already been used for hunting with usually good results, and hope next season I'll be able to at least try the SA-22 in the field since I find it the most challenging of the lot due to the sights and hunting conditions, although accuracy is excellent.
Also got a S&W 35 that hasn't had the chance to show what's made of yet.....will try to solve that too, but the Single six and the MkIII have been keeping it stored so far.

Step outside the box and find a whole new world of free thought and science. The result will follow.
It’s painful reading some of you pussyfoot your way around a reloading bench and taking a gawd awful amount of time and effort to find a load.
There is a gas peddle. Step on it.

Be careful on those corners.

Nobody's ever accused me of having a pretty face, but it's too pretty to have it all messed up due to a gun blowing up in my face. I used to know a guy who considered the book max as a "good starting point". We called him Lefty.
