Both my rem700 270 and Win70 in 243 will be my boys when I go.
I have a real bad habit of seasonally selling something to fund something else so I don't cost the family anything. Hopefully one day there will be enough money to NOT have to do that anymore. I'm getting kinda tired af getting used to something and seeing them go.
I asked Papa for his Sears n Roebuck 12 gauge a few years back for Christmas and he said no. That I'll get it when he's gone. Now I don't want it.
He also put all his dang name and DL numbers on his too. I remember an old Mauser rifle he had sporterized as well as a nice lil Llama 9mm Parabelum that he has custom wood grips carved installed. Great lil gun.

I used to do that a lot when I was into baseball cards. Both my rem700 270 and Win70 in 243 will be my boys when I go.

Trying to track down a few I sold when money got tight a few years ago. But as it sits right now there are two that are not going anywhere.
My first shot gun h&r single shot 20 gauge that to this day I still hate shooting it but soon it will be my son's.
Other is a sako a7 in 300 win mag. As cheap as I am into it I could never again do that.

I don't sell guns. Sold two when I was younger, a new model Remington 597 that was a complete POS and a Marlin tube fed 22 mag. Highly regret selling the Marlin.

My dad's A5
Browning BPR 22mag.
870 Wingmaster 20ga.
These three we have had for over 40 years. A few others we've had longer and still remain. Others have come and gone. The three listed won't be sold by me.
