Sold a 586 then bought it back the next day.
Tried to drink the Kimber Kool Ade but sold all of them with no regret.
Sold a Boddington Ruger #1 in 450 3 1/4 with his autograph for obscene funds. No regret.
Getting old so will sell a few in the next few years.

For nostalgia, an H&R single shot, exposed hammer, 16 ga. I shot my first pheasant with at age 12 or 13 and my next, a late 60's vintage Remington 870 pump Wingmaster in 12 ga. which dropped many, many more.

Sold every .270 Win that I won in a drawing or took in on trade, but never suffered any remorse.  My regret to the OP's question was a 270 , a beautiful 100% condition 1962 year model Browning Safari Medallion, it was flawless, along with it's little gloss 2-7 Leupold in the factory engraved rings, would bughole 150 gr Partitions in calm winds.  Oh yeah those Belgium made Brownings were to die for.I had one in 7 Rem.mag with super wood!!!  IMHO some of the finest production sporting weapons ever built, I did however manage to hang onto it's big brother in 458 WM, it's not a Medallion, just a standard Safari Grade, still a super cool accurate all game basher.

kind of regret this one, a Tanegashima (japanese matchlock musket) just sold recently as part of getting rid of stuff so the wife doesn't have to. made in 1726 and was fun to shoot. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1350.photobucket.com/albums/p775/deerstalkert/matchlock/2013-12-12104221_zpsc260ee5d.jpg)

Which version? The .22lr/.410 (which I love) haa now been reintroduced as the model 42 with synthetic stocks. 24D 22LR/20ga 24c. Hard chromed 22/20 ugly but functional

I have sold several over the years and I only regretted selling one. I had a chance to buy it back and I did, only to sell it again. Now I don't look back only forward.

A Kimber of Oregon 22LR, two Browning Low Wall 1885 243s and several old Winchesters come to mind.
That said, I don't collect firearms nearly as much anymore. I came to realize that I wasn't having much fun with just having inventory. Defined as rifles, pretty or collectible or not, that sat in a safe and I seldom if ever actually shot. When I decided to start spending more money on barrels and components and less on rifles, I became happier. It was telling when I would sell something that I had had for years, that was just a firearm and not an heirloom, and I would be happy to see it gone.
Wearing out barrels is more fun for me than taking something out of a safe to look at it occasionally. Now I measure success in any given year when I spend more on barrels and components that I do on new acquisitions.

Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

Have you ever sold a gun you regret? I had a Rem700 C grade, heavy barrel, in 25-06. Needed money. I have been kicking myself in ass for years. Dumbass!!! Absolutely. A Charter Arms Bulldog .44 Special that I bought new back in the early 1980s. Just one of many I regret selling.

Probably told this here before on a similar thread... My first rifle was a savage 99 in 308 I bought used for 100 bucks with my summer ranching money in high school in '74. I killed all my animals with it until the early 90s. I had that, my old model 15 22 and 870 wingmaster I also bought in high school new. That was my battery for around 17 years, killed a ton of stuff. Decided I needed a 3006 for elk hunting in colorado, bought a new rem 700 with leupold scope. My daughter's birthday she wanted a special present and I was short money. Figured I didn't need that 99 anymore so put it in the paper for 175.00, even in '91 I guess that was cheap, phone rang off the hook. That rem has killed a chitload of elk and deer but I always regretted getting rid of my first rifle. Bought one much like it from a member here, went out and killed an elk with that same daughter. My battery had been restored to as close to original as possible. ![[Linked Image]](http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll237/kentpowellp/animals/IMG_0330.jpg)
