Toss up.
700 BDL Varmint Special in 243. Was shot out when I got it. Should have just rebarreled it. Was pretty minty otherwise.
Original 700 VLS in 243. These were checkered and had the black grip cap and foreend tip. A lot nicer rifle than the non checkered with beavertail forearm.
Marlin 444 Guide Gun.
I couldn't even begin to tell you what these were traded for.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

Beretta 390. Won it at the acui national championships in san antonio. First year beretta ever did it. Owed roomie too much in electric and phone bill to keep it. Id give an arm and leg to get it back. Highly figured stock looked like it shoukd have been on a kreighoff.

Mossburg 12gauge. Before the 500 i think.
POS Rem 572
110 Savage 270
POS Traditions inline bought because of the price.
Only guns ever sold.
Last 2 never fired.
The 270 is the only one i wish I hadn't sold, only because I've never
even fired one. But, I never shot it because I wasn't interested in buying
brass, bullets and dies for it. So, it was worthless.
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

Never received any guns from a relative so never became emotionally attached to any. I do miss a Blaser R8 I sold a few years ago and wished I held onto a matching pair of 1895ās. Both were take downs, case colored receivers, one in 06 the other in .405.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

The very first gun my folks bought me. It was a 20g Mossberg bolt action with a variable choke. I don't even remember the model. I remember seeing an ad in a Coast to Coast flyer for a 243 rifle on sale for $99. I decided I had to have it. I sold the 20g to my brother for $40 so I would have enough money for the 243. Of coarse they didn't have any in stock when I went to the store. Gave me a rain check for when they got some in. They never did call.
Years later I asked my brother if he still had the 20g. He didn't and could even remember what he did with it. Only reason I wanted it back was because it was my first gun, given to me by my folks. When I was young & dumb, I didn't think anything about it.

Regret selling a very nice older BDL 30-06, the guy I sold it to listed it a couple months later for like $300 more šµ.
Also really regret not buying a couple thinking I could find a comparable or better deal down the road. NOPE. PS anyone have a CZ 550/557 American?

A Remington 341 tube feed .22. A gift from an uncle when I was 10. It was his chicken coop gun and was in poor shape.
I cleaned the bore and shot it. Then I took it apart and got everything cleaned up. I refinished the stock and cold blued it. I got a peep rear sight and had it installed. Finally I mounted a sling on it.
Amazingly accurate, extremely smooth feeding. A great learning experience.
I hocked it when I went in the Marines in 1966.

Ruger 77V in 25-06. MOA unmodified. Full fiddleback stock, front to back. I had one as well, nice wood, a fixed 12x Redfield, would stack 75 grain Sierra HPās under 5/8ā all day. It was a woodchuck shredding machine. I needed money and it was either that or my 77V Swift which Iāve still got. At the same time I got rid of three other guns, one of which was an ANIB pre-WWII 94 in .32 Special. The .25-06 and the 94 I regret getting rid of.
