There's been alot more that I did grab that I had absolutely no need for buying and later turned around and sold when I came to my senses.
Got a couple of those right now.

Got a couple of those right now. I’ve got a couple of those myself. I have a Savage 99 .243 I searched high and low for, and finally found one, but the previous owner cerakoted it. I absolutely hate the trigger in that thing, and it’s not worth much after the cerakote job either.

Manton Double in 405 WCF for five grand...

Back I 1995 I was in a small town and was offered a matched pair consecutively seria numbered unfired set of Long branch numbet 4 mk 1 s for 500. Dollars. They also had beautiful dark walnut. I like the stupid fool I often am turned the deal down. They would be worth at least 3000 today. I also have a list of other stupid deals I have missed because I am to slow to pull the trigger.

"I should have walked away more often than I did🥴"
Ain't that the truth!
My problem is impulse buying.
Used to be my problem. Not anymore Really not a problem for me as I’d rather keep my $$ in guns that anything else😁 PennDog

I certainly wish that I'd bought new Remington 7600s in .270 Winchester and .35 Whelen

It was some years ago, but I was offered a pristine Ruger #1 Tropical in .458 Win for $550. He was also throwing in a box of shells. Like a dummy, I passed on the deal.

Walked into Gun City in Nashville one day in the mid 80's and they had three long racks filled on both sides with double barreled shotguns . Not junk , the good guns , all in excellent condition but not the engraved hiigh grade versions . A collector had died and they had his stuff on consignment and 90% of them were priced at $250.00 with the rest in the $350.00 range . I should have counted and gone to the bank and got the money to buy the whole lot but didn't . I did buy a near mint LC Smith 20 gauge with 30" choke bored barrels for the $250.00 I had in my pocket at the time . I came back a few days later to buy the rest and somebody had beat me to it .Should have paid somebody to stomp my ass for being that stupid. That's the day I applied for my first high limit credit card , been ruined every since.

Cz 550 in 9.3x62 with beautiful wood.
Went to hit buy after 5 minutes of fighting with my self. Missed it.
Plus it was only $600. FML
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

Looking back, have you ever looked at or handled a gun and laid it back down and walked away only to wish later you had grabbed it? Either a good price or a hard to find piece. Pains me to say this. Nearly pristine Winchester M70 Westerner, for $800 at a gun show. Probably 20 years ago now, but about $900 out of my price range in those days. I've never seen one as clean, nor as cheap since..... Kaiser Norton
