Always tough as you will likely regret it as some time. We all do. I have a sweet Remington 673 in 350 Rem mag but also a BLR in 358 Win. I keep thinking that I should sell the Remington but it is a great rifle even though it is more than I need for PA whitetails. I have become a fan of shirt actions and 35 caliber.

Dam thats a nice rifle. I have a Kimber Super America in 280 and it doesn't hold a candle to this. I have 3 Cooper rimfire's and three varmint rifles all are excellent shooters. You have exceeded your PM limit so out of curiosity what would you need for the Cooper? How much does it weigh ready to hunt?

Thanks VA. If I didn't already have a Cooper and a Kimber in 280AI, I wouldn't think of selling it.

Based on your stated criteria, reasoning and alternatives, it sounds to me like you need to sell all three of them.

Based on your stated criteria, reasoning and alternatives, it sounds to me like you need to sell all three of them. This is exactly what I was thinking. I whittled away at my guns about 4-5 years ago and only kept 2 categories - sentimental value and guns I use. Everything else went and I upgraded scopes and stocks. I now have 3 hunting rifles, all Kimber SS/Syn, 1 "practice" rifle Kimber SS/Syn, and 6 or so that I've either owned for 40+ years, were given to me by dear friends, or built for me by a family member. I'm torn at the moment on hand guns. I have a Ruger Bisley SS 5.5 inch barrel 45 colt that hasn't been shot in a couple years but I do hate to part with that one. I shoot its twin 480 more than the 45. Plus I have 3 Glocks, one of which rides the safe too much. Prob keep the Glocks and sell the Ruger 45 at some point. Or maybe not.

That Cooper is one sweet rifle. If I didn't have a Kimber Super America in 280 I'd be on that in a heart beat

If I had the choice, I would sell both of the Brownings. They will sell quickly for a good price. You might hold on to the Cooper for a while unless you know someone who is interested in it. I've always had problems selling "custom" rifles because it's a matter of taste. What I like in a rifle might be a flaw to someone I am selling it to. This is just my experience FWIW.
