....pre 64 M70 you regret selling the most?

Yeah I know we would like to have them all back;but that's not an answer. smile

We've all bought and sold them. So which one would you like to have back the most if you could ? frown





The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

That's so easy. It was a Super Grade in 7MM with just an outstanding piece of wood and a 95%+ gun that was over 15 years ago and I still miss that gun.

None yet. As long as I can keep my wife believing that's it's the same " old rifle" she's seeing every time I have one of them out, I'm golden:)

I do wish I had bought the 250-3000 I saw at the Helena gun show a couple years ago. I didn't know what the gun was worth, could have gotten it for $3000.00...

The only one I've sold, a .264 Featherweight. Accurate as hell and the nuclear muzzle blast/flash was awe inspiring. Doubled my money on it but still wish I'd kept it.

I have only sold one. Pre war standard in .270. Bought it for 450 back in 02 or 03 and sold it in 08. If I still had it, it wouldn't be a .270 anymore and would more than likely be a 35 whelen or 9.3x62. It is the only pre 64 I have ever bought and sold. I have kept the rest.

Just posted this in another thread:

Pre 64 70 FWT in .30-06. Unlucky rifle if I ever saw one in that it only showed you a Buck infrequently. Sold it then bought it back and it still had the same trait, so sold it again to a gun store.

SN482406 and if anyone out there owns it I would like to give it another chance. grin

I sold my best shooting pre 64 model 70 to EricM here. It is chambered in 30-06 (my favorite cartridge) and I'm eternally grateful it went to such a great guy. I'm also selling my 338 Alaskan to him. Now that one will have me kicking myself in the azz for a while. Thankfully I still have a good 338 in the stable wink

Look at the bright side. Taking a rifle back doesn't cost you a house.

Mine was a very nice .300 Win Mag and I ended up recently buying another one that is in even better condition.

Such is the life of a gun loony.

Winpoor that's a classic quote!

There are three that stand out in my head and it's a close call as to which wins.A pre war 30/06,all original that I bought when in my late teens and so "clean" it looked brand new in the LGS rack.Serial # 50,189 which I remembered all these years.

Or more recently a SG 264 Win Mag,that a widow sold to a friend and I ended up with it.

But the winner would be a 270 remodeled and stocked by Len Brownell for Bob Chatfield-Taylor and used by him on hunts here in NA with JOC and in Africa. I bought it from his son.Wish I had that one back for sure. frown

Don't worry BSA, I'm taking care of your babies! grin cool

My regret is a '55 Super Grade National Match 30-06 that I sold awhile back. Very rare combination, and the wood was outstanding. I didn't appreciate what I had at the time and let it go to chase another rifle. You live and learn!

I have bought and sold a few M/70's over the years, two I regret letting go of are the .358 Featherweight I bought for $600.00 and a .257 Roberts Super Grade. I miss the .338 Magnum with Canjar trigger that was hands down the most accurate M/70 I've ever owned but like the .35 Whelen that replaced it.

Bob, as you know I've has a lot of pre 64 M70's pass through my hands, the 2 I miss the most are a 300 H&H supergrade, and most of all the Goudy 7x57, but I still have some great ones and like you, they're here to get used.
I feel a little better as another 300 H&H just showed up last night.
