Rick, I can beat you by one. Had a 35 whelen on an FN action that I ended up owning a total of 4 times, in two different stocks. Gone now and going to stay that way.
I should have grabbed your fwt when I had the chance!

A friend and I swapped a S & W M/29 back and forth many times, neither of the wives could understand that.

I usually have a hard time getting the price I want when selling, then I'm done.

I have owned the same Mid fifties Winchester Model 70 Super Grade '06 three times. Killed my best mule deer with it. I sold it for the same reason three times. It is too heavy!
Best,
Jack

Many I would like to buy back, and I have bought many back that I sold.. I have kept track of lots of things in my life, but I wish I would have kept track of all the Gus I have owned.. Often looking through my journals I read about guns I forgot I owned.

Often looking through my journals I read about guns I forgot I owned. I did keep track. I think I'm north of 125 of them now. There's more than a few I'd buy back if the chance presented itself.

Early production 700 mountain rifle in 280. This thread reminded me of it and now I'm waiting to hear back if the guy still has it and would sell it back...Thanks WyoCoyoteHunter, I don't know how you sleep at night!

If I could find it, I'd buy back that RU77V in .25-06 I purchased at Penney's in Fairbanks in '75 or so, and foolishly sold around 1982. Factory standard, MOA with handl oads (factory ammo sucked) , full fiddleback stock from tip to butt. Killed a couple dozen caribou with it, all but one bang/flop. And he didn't know he was dead with the first one.
The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

I had a Savge 24J, I think that was the model. Sold it in Montana back in the early 70's. Over time I ended up in Greeley, Colo and found the same exact one in a pawn shop ther. Really surprised me and I checked the serial number and it was the same rifle. Ended up selling it again down the road.

I don't get sentimental about guns too often. The ones I feel that way about, I wouldn't sell.

Pops (lefty) got a #1 yrs ago, so dumped his Savage. Yr or so later he sees it at gunshop. Bought it.............and later............sold it.
A yr or more goes by, sees it at another shop............bought it back.
Had it rebarrelled, hasn't even shot it..............been 20 plus yrs. Maybe 30 LOL.

My late brother and I sold a few back and forth, but I never bought one back from a store.
He also sold me a Norton 850, but I came to my senses before I put it (and my azz) on the street and sold it back to him.
What fresh Hell is this?
