Papalondog: Speaking of regrets back in 2,003 I was working a body guard detail in Bend, Oregon and our team was travelling with the person we were guarding. We stopped in Redmond, Oregon and as the subject visited his legal counsel we had some time to ourselves.
I went into a small gunshop there in Redmond and on the wall was a BEAUTIFULLY stocked Winchester 94/17 HMR Legacy (manufactured 2,003 & 2,004 only)!
I was new to the 17 HMR back then but loved the looks and feel of that "Legacy" (it looked exactly like Dave284's 94/22 XTR Classic except it had checkered forearm and buttstock).
Anyway it was pricey ($600.00 or so IIRC) and I was a bit rushed right then.
I thought it over that afternoon and got the money together (cash) and returned the next day to buy that nifty Rifle and it was GONE!
Been looking for one ever since - no luck - hence the "regret" on my part.
Hold into the wind
