I’ve sold a lot of guns, the only one I regret selling was a Ruger stainless Blackhawk in .357. Had a trigger kit on it and man it was smooth shooting. Sold it to a buddies dad to fund a start up business when I was 18 ( I had the enterprising mind but not the sense, pyramid schemes don’t work fyi ) Still wish I had that one, the others I don’t miss. Sold a Model 70 in 7mm wsm, a Browning A-Bolt in 7mm rem, two or three 1100’s, an 870 Wingmaster, a couple Marlin 336’s, Remington 700 SPS in .22-250, and several other shotguns of various makes and models over the years.

The gun itself I love. Just with some others on my stable it’s sort of useless….it’s a great South Texas rifle. Only issue is I don’t hunt there much anymore. Any critter I’m after out of state I’m picking up the bow or the .300 win ( chambered in an extremely similar rifle) and when I’m just putzing around I’ll use my .270 or if the stars align right my .308 with a suppressor, which will probably be my “main” gun for when I’m shooting a rifle here in Texas, which is very rare these days.

Just in case FYI....if you do sell a gun and get Sellers Remorse over it.....there is a new place to shop with one of the best pile of shooters I've seen in a very long time on Hwy 19 South, just north of the Athens High School, and a little bit south of the Loop in Athens on Hwy 19. This is one of my every day routes to go any where else North or West to chase furniture & antiques to ReSell in the shop called the "Browsery" where we have had a booth for the last 6 years in the old original Blakes Furniture location on Hwy 79 1 block inside the Loop in Palestine.

Almost passed Cowboys as usual, it looks like another mega sized lumber & tools place, but noticed a new Add On building on the south end of the building that had a pile of cars & pickups parked in front of the new entry door at Cowboy's couple weeks ago. It was raining that day and I was tired of getting splashed by the 18 wheelers.

When you walk into the new Add On building, you'll get lost in all the Womans Ready To Wear racks...until you notice all the long gun shooters lined up on the back wall...and then all the pistols in glass cases. The guy in a wheel chair really does knows the butt from the bore too....unlike the guys at Academy in Tyler

I studied on how to find enough pocket change to buy or at least put something in Lay Away like the Tikka 7-08 I was drooling over that was at a better price than I've seen one at all the other Mega Sized Gun stores in Dallas & Tyler....until I finally realized that what I was hearing was really Big Time rain and mega sized thunder I was hearing and not some forklift moving lumber.

Hwy 19 South is very winding and with lots of twisty turns and narrow one lane places NOT a fun place to drive in a rain storm and fight the 18 wheelers truck traffic for a lane of my own in the few wide 2 lane spots , so I hauled it for home. FYI stop in Bradford to catch a good place to eat lunch too....and let you lower your Blood Pressure.

Sell it when you don't have to, & when no one you wanted to pass it on to wants it.

...and when the right money comes along.

Yeah that is where I'm at. My goal is in retirement to shoot the safe queens often.

I sold some firearms fifteen years ago and regret it and told myself I wouldn't do it again.

I’m trying to buy a couple I sold and regret. I don’t have anyone to leave them to so I’m not planning to own near as many as once planned
