Yeah, walked off from a deal on a Sako, dont remember which model, in 243. Watched the owner shoot 20 shots into the 10 ring at 100 yds. Completely ate out the x ring. A couple years later, he wanted to sell the rifle for $650 without the scope, but I knew he only gave $250 with the scope.
Not going to say it haunts me, but it was a good rifle.

A S&W "N" frame that started life as a M-28 that had the barrel replaced with a 44 barrel and the cylinder rechambered in 44 special. It was slick and priced fairly. Still kicking myself..............

Been more than one but this one stands out.
A 700 LVSF in .223 NIB, they wanted $792. By the time I made up my mind to go get it two weeks later it was sold. Thing had been in his gun rack for over a year.

A Winchester model 21 in near unfired condition. A widow was selling off her husbands gun collection because she didn't want guns in her house. A Sheriff's deputy friend of mine was selling them for her. She wanted $250.00 for the model 21. This was 1969 and I was just married and broke. I had to pass.

Left a Mauser chambered in 8x68S on the rack once. Asking price was $299 and I walked away. Got to thinking about it later that night and went back the next day to buy it and walked in while a guy was doing the paperwork on it. Missed out on a great rifle in a great caliber.

I looked for years for a decent .250 Savage. Finally saw a Ruger 77 NIB at the Big Reno Show but thought the guy wanted $50 too much. Passed.

Yes Ansultz 22 pawn shop asking $325.00 probably could have gotten it for $275.00. Sometimes I'm brain dead.

Many years ago and I still see it in my mind. An old brass spool Savage 99 take down. It had a chunk out of the forend so I didn't buy it.
The older I become the more I am convinced that the voice of honor in a man's heart is the voice of GOD.
