Guns you've regretted selling or trading.

Thought this might be interesting, or could bring forth some strong emotions. 

I'll start off. I bought a used Remington ADL with a Monte Carlo stock in .22-250. It was a beautiful rifle and a tack driver. Sold it (made a couple bucks on the sale) and bought a Ruger MKII in .223, because ammo was cheaper to shoot. As soon as the guy drove out of sight I knew I had made a mistake.   

So what say you?

WHen I was 16 I bought an old Husquavarna .270 and harvested several deer with it.  In 2002 I sold it so I could buy a new .270 Rem 700.  The Rem is a much better gun, but I loved that old rifle.  Lotta memories.  Should have kept it and found another way to come up with a couple of hundred bucks.

I LOVES my Remington 700 ADL with Monte Carlo stock'd .22-250 !!!  That's what I have to say !!  I've dropped MANY a caribou with that gun (when I lived in Alaska).  Mine's a shooter too... especially with the 6-24x40mm scope I have mounted on it.

I do wish I hadn't traded off my S&W model 629, 6" .44.  It was partial down payment on a Polaris snow mobile I'd acquired (as well as a Beretta 92F as down).  Don't really miss the 9mm, but I would enjoy having that 629 back again.  The snow mobile?  Well... a few years after moving back to Seattle... a buddy of mine in Alaska wanted to buy it... so, I sold/shipped it to him.  He took his little brother out when it arrived, and his little brother rolled it !  I kept that thing lookin'/runnin' SWEET too.  It was ALL "black" with red accents with aftermarket suspension/track... and was one rockin' little 400 Indy

Remington Model 1100 12 gauge skeet shotgun, S&W model 29 44 mag, and 1950's Winchester Model 94 30-30.  I sold them before I moved to Australia and now that I'm back, I have regretted it ever since.  Thank god I kept my Remington 700 ADL 30-06 at my parents house while I was away.

When I was in my 20's I sold off a Browning A5 Sweet 16 shotgun that I was given by my adopted granddad.  I shot my first duck with it on Hood Canal.

Always thought about the gun and really kicked myself for selling it, especially as it was at the insistance of the first wife when I really wasn't hunting much.

The only fortunate part was I sold it within the family.  Tried gettting it back from time to time but never could get it back.  

Can't really recall what happened but I finally got it back a couple of years ago.  Traded a 12 gauge for it.  Sure am glad I was able to get it.

My first gun, a Savage over/under.  It was 20 ga. under and 22lr over.  My dad sold it to a neighbor so I could get a 20 gauge pump.  I tried for a long time to track the neighbor down but no such luck.  My dad regrets it as bad as I do but he didn't have the money at the time and I was only 12 so I didn't have any money either.  Hopefully some day I will find another.  I've seen one other but it was a basic model, mine had a pheasant scene engraved on one side and a coyote scene (not sure) on the other.  I killed a lot of birds with that gun and it was my first.

I had one of those in .223 and 20ga.  Loved the concept... but the particular one I bought (used) couldn't group any smaller than a paper plate (9") at 25yds (with the .223) !!  I traded it in on my .22-250

I had a Winchester M 70 SuperShadow in 7MM WSM. Had a Leupold VXIII on it. That gun, still to date was one of my best shooting guns. I loved that thing. Sold the entire package for $400     just to help with bills when I was going through my divorce.
