RE: Guns you Regret Selling/Trading....
What I regret most is not a rifle I sold, but one I completely reworked. My Dad gave me my first center fire rifle for Christmas when I was about 10 or so. A regular everyday Remington 700 BDL in .270 Win. While over time I bought many new, nicer, faster, bigger rifles, this .270 was the one I used year in and year out to the point where everyone noticed and eventually harassed me because I was using the rifle my Dad bought me when I was 10 (I was around 30 at this point and had at least 10 rifles in the safe) but I didn’t care, I loved this gun. I finally was convinced to allow the old girl to retire restfully in my safe, which would have been fine. I got a wild hair one day and started reworking the entire rifle. New stock, barrel, new everything I even sent the action out and had it blueprinted, trued and squared to the barrel. A year or two later (and more money than I care to add up) I had a perfect .270 better than new and could fire groups that would fit inside the group it used to fire, but it no longer felt like that old friend I had carried up and down many rough trails. I still regret doing that. My Dad was actually happy with it. He told me that he felt really good knowing that the rifle he bought me meant enough that I would spend 3 times it’s value to turn it into something I would use again rather than bury it in the dark safe until that day I die. That made me feel better, and renewed the sentimental value, but still is not the same. He did have a good point I guess.
