Just wondering about what folks have gotten rid of (other than spouses)that they wish they'd never traded/sold off?
Mine are 2 guns:
788 in 223
H&R Handi-Rifle in 223 bull barrel.
Both accurate and both sold/swapped with regret (now):(

The top ones on my list are all very similar rifles, but one. All model 70s, all fwts, two pre 64s, one classic and one winlite, 30-06s and 280s. They could have easily been 270s and at least two of them would still be here if they were! Two of them in mcmillan stocks, a fwt and a compact edge.
The odd one out was an early sako forester in 243, nice because it was an early sako in nice shape in a medium action.

I had one of the first 10,000 Remington 870's ever made that I sold to buy a Browning A5
The guy I sold it to promised he would sell it back to me if he decided to get rid of it, and then sold it to his brother in law instead

I had more Ruger MkII Stainless guns with the zytel stock. I like them and wish I had more. Not to say I don't have enough for what I NEED. It's a want thing.

Model 94AE in .307 Win. Traded for a bow about 20 years ago. Not that I had great love for the rifle, but guess which one didn't depreciate to zero.

Mt first rifle I purchased. Sold it for medical bills. Got it back 20 years later... Now it's my oldest daughters first gun. Pretty much covers the 30 I built and sold to my best friend. So now I just borrow them  W

Ithaca model 100 side by side 12 gauge and a Savage 99 detachable magazine in 7mm 08. I bird hunt now and that shotgun was sweet, and the Savage with that tang safety was a great still hunting rifle.
