rifle question

I had a old single shot rifle in 22 hornet I gave a way to a elder he was getting to old to hunt
one day I was having coffee with him he told me he sold or gave a way all his rifles because it was getting to hard on him and had to give it up till he can find a light 22 hornet
That was 7 years a go and he is still hunting with that 22
I miss that 22 hornet but I don't regret giving it away
 
I had a K-length commercial Mauser in .250 Savage once. Shot my best buck ever with it. Don't know how I ever let myself get talked out of that one, and I've been kicking myself ever since.

I also had a Danish M1 Garand. Got it cheap; $150 or 200... got bored with it and traded it off for a nice double shotgun. Seeing what they're going for now, I wish I'd kept it and just paid cash for the shotgun.
 
The only one I can think of really is an M1 Garand. Bought for $150 I sorta lost interest in it and sold it for $850. Now I sorta wish I still had it. It was pretty fun to shoot. I can't even remember many of the others I sold! :)
 
I regret all of the money I lost buying "junk" that I ended up selling off to buy quality........ I am no gun snob by any means but you do get what you pay for........

The only exception to this is my rem 870 express circa '93......... I was just a kid packing groceries part time when I bought it and I hunted everything from grouse to geese to deer with it........ it was a versatile package and is now my dedicated turkey gun...... will never part with it.......
 
sold a Side by Side Ithaca Shotgun i picked up online. nothing fancy but got it cheap and flipped it for nearly double in a week. Still I'd like a side by side and that would have filled that gap, now I will eventually do something foolish and buy another.
 
i've sold about 25 guns in the last 20 years, about the only one I miss is a TC Contender carbine in .22 hornet. It was amazingly compact, had wonderful wood, excellent trigger, and very accurate. Not sure why I let that one go.
