What gun do you regret selling the most??

what gun do you regret selling the most??

Every gun I have sold I wish I had back, but the most stupid deal I ever did
was a long time ago in late 50s
Gave a three barrelled drilling 16gauge double with 8 by 57 JR somthing with velvet lined leather case, with a hard canvas over case.
for a 22 bolt German ? with a Leica scope and got $100 cash how stupid was that deal, also sold 7 old lever winchesters, 44.40, 38.55, 25.35 etc for $700
and a pump Reminton shot gun, and a bunch of pre 64 winchesters for peanuts.
 
I regretted selling my very first centerfire rifle a Rem 700 in .308 Win. Then by a stoke of fate I was able to reacquire it about 2 years ago. She's a keeper now for sure! :D

Someone I know has a single shot cooey crack .410 that I would sooner buy off him than see him sell it. It's my favorite pop-gun.
 
my list of "guns I should have kept" is very long....a Remington Model 30S Express in 25-06 in a Fajen Aristocrat stock, someone in the Edmonton area or at least in Alberta probably has this one...and a Schultz & Larsen M65DL in 308 Norma that should have been a keeper.....had a Pre'64 Model 70 in 300 Win Mag too,a one year only deal in '63....had a nice old Rem 722 in 244 with a period correct B&L Balvar 2.5-8X with the adjustable mount....a Sako AII FibreClass in 7-08(factory McMillan stock)....now that's a rare one...a Ruger #3 in 22 Hornet...thought I didn't need two Hornets....it goes on and on and on.....
 
Rembo reminded me of a Sako FiberClass I had in .338 WM, those were really nice rifles. And the recoil on that one was unbelievably mild.
 
A J.C. I sold cheap before they were cool, and my very first 12 ga. a fricken cooey bought it brand new for $50 at Woolco in '77. Got way more birds with that Cooey than with the Gevarm semi that replaced it. Did not regret saying see ya to the Gevarm.
 
A win 94 Saskatchewan Diamond Jubilee in 38-55 I should of kept that one. Also a 6.5x55 mauser that you damn near drive nails with. I pretty well gave that one a way to a guy that was just starting out hunting. Oh well! More will come and more will go and i'm sure I'll have more regrets in the future.

I had a few that I should of kept....heavy barrel Browning BBR in 22-250, a model 61 winchester in 22 mag, a FN Browning in 30-06, a Gevarm target model 22 lr, a mint m1 Garand, the list goes on and on...too many tears to continue to type..sniff sniff

I'm not sure what the origin of the stock is. It is in ADL configuration [i.e. blind magazine]. Stock profile is very much like the Remington 'Classic' stock with no raized cheek piece. CGN member 'guntech' is responsible for the rifle in it's current configuration. ;)
 
What gun do you regret......

I was going to lament about the Rem 700 BDL in 30.06 that I had a great gunsmith work up for me, it was the most pleasant rifle I had ever shot. But after reading about some unloading a drilling and some else dumping a MS, I don't feel so bad anymore. Thanks

Well, it was the late 50's, right? All Wins were pre 64! Sure, it sucks, now, but, hey... That Drilling would be cool to see, though!

I used to drool over those when I was a kid! Glad to see you got it back.
