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.

I sold a 270 I got for a payment. Thank God there. Hate 270s.
But guess what the only gun I ever won is.... yep...
I sold a ruger redhawk to finance a 329PD. Much easier to carry, very accurate. And I got rid of a Ruger to piss Bill off. LOL.
OTher than that I"ve never sold a gun.

Weatherby Fiberguard that I had rebarrled to 358 win. Sold it before I got to shoot it because I lost my job.
I also regret selling 2 other Weatherby Fiberguards. One in 270 and one in 308.

I only regret one, an Ithaca Model 49 .22 rimfire I had as a kid. Sold it and took off hitchhiking across the western US with the proceeds - all $8 worth. (They were $21 new in 1961.)
Was gone for a month.

My Dad's Weatherby Vanguard deluxe 7RM that was his only big game rifle during my childhood. Really nice piece of wood and that deep deep Weatherby blued steel. He killed a LOT of animals with it, but it developed a "bulge" in the barrel toward the muzzle when I was in high school. He had it lopped off, but a ~20" 7RM wasn't his cup of tea. After it sat in his gun case for a couple of years, as I was just getting into guns, he told me to take it to the gun show and get what I could for it. If I had the knowledge I have now, I would have had it rebarreled for him.

The list is long, but a couple I particularly liked:
Sako Vixen heavy barrel 222 that was most accurate factory rifle I have ever seen
Ruger 77 tang safety 243 that shot itty bitty groups. I just liked it a lot and killed many deer with it. But my bud's son shot his first deer with it this year, so it's all good.
I let a couple M70 Featherweights and Supergrades go that I kinda miss....

Guns,rifles in particular,pass through here on a regular basis. It's just who I am. The one that tops the list I guess was a M70 XTR 270. First year production that I bought with my part time job money back in 80. Or was it 79? One or the other,it was a while back. By todays standards it was a strange looking thing. High gloss,big Monte Carlo comb,square forearm. I'd take that old rig back in a heart beat. But,my 327 needed rebuilt,and there was this girl. The Nova is gone as well,but the girl sits here with me now. I guess it all worked out. The other was another M70. A first run stainless classic featherweight set in a nice walnut stock,chambered in 30/06. A lapse of judgement.A fella with a bunch of cash. Oh well,live and learn I guess.

Factory LH Heavy Barrel Savage .223 built on a 110 long action. Would regularly shoot .3's and .4's with handloads. Didn't like the Tupperware stock.
And a .375H&H built on a LH Sako MRI action. Didn't feel that I needed a .375. Still don't "need" one. But, miss the rifle...

H&R model 300 in 243. It was just a nifty, super light, accurate little FN sporter.
Bought it for $300, sold it for $400, so for a hundred dollars I lost a really cool gun. STUPID!

A standard Winchester Model 70 chambered in 30-06 SPRG, made in 1968 (first push-feed with the guide lug bolt I owned). It had a very light colored walnut stock and perfect pressed checkering (for a nice wood-burned look). Bought it new from a HS buddy who owned a local hardware store - last new rifle they sold before getting out of the gun business. I sure wish I had kept that one - I traded it away for a trap shotgun 33 or so years ago, but I still look for it when I go to local gunshows. Odessa

I don't have but a couple that I wish I could get back. One was a Winchester 42 in pretty good shape, but nothing special. A guy that was a friend of my grandmother practically gave it to me because I kept several trucks in our motor pool assigned to his service station. He was in his 80's and appreciated it. Some guy had given him the Winchester as partial payment on a bill. I told him the price he made me was too low and that I would pay a fair price for it. Dang if he didn't knock another $25.00 off the price. I kept it for a long time and shot a bunch of birds and squirrels with it. I shouldn't have sold that one… I gave one of my sons my M1 Garand yesterday. I told him no strings attached. If he wanted to sell it or save it, it was ok with me. I might need to keep my eyes out for a good, clean M1.

I have traded away a lot of guns I wish I had back but the one that sticks out is a really nice M1 Garand. They are getting expensive and hard to find. Wish I had that one back.

Just wondering about what folks have gotten rid of (other than spouses)that they wish they'd never traded/sold off? S&W M29 4" ; Colt Woodsman ; Win M88 308 seems crazy now, Rem 870 12 ga. - but later on got another one. Every man needs an 870 12 ga.

Mine are 2 guns:
788 in 223 H&R Handi-Rifle in 223 bull barrel.
Both accurate and both sold/swapped with regret (now):( First one was to a Government "buy back" in 1990 when the firearms act restrictions came into effect in Australia. It was my first firearm; a CZ BRNO model 511, .22lr semi automatic. Somewhat like this; Watched it get crushed in a press !!!& a Tikka M595 in .222rem, that I sold before moving from Australia, to Canada, because of the importation red tape ! Somewhat like this one; It shot bug holes using W748 & 50gr Sierra Blitz !

Every time I think about this subject I start to tear-up......e.g., Model 70 250-3000, Parker DHE 20ga, LCS Specialty 410.......and on and on.
Better to have "owned, enjoyed and sold" than never to have owned at all.

Only one REAL regret:
Remington 1100 LT 20.
If you're fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.
