Firearms that you can't part with

Thanks much!
The WWII Mauser 98 and the M1 Scope are just sitting here. Might want to use the money for builds in progress. We have a lot of items not using.

They were headquartered in Rock Island, IL till just recently and now based in TX. They have sold some impressive stuff over thier history.

Consistent with my thread titled "Thinning The Heard", I've been doing just that. The first salvo consisted of several safe queens that I really liked but didn't shoot.

If I had to give up everything but one, it wouldn't be one of my many LR rigs that I'd save for last. I'll save my Marlin 1895 SBL for last. When I look through my photo albums, it's surprising to see just how many pigs, bears and deer I've dropped with this short-range but rather versatile rifle. Despite the fact that I'm a diehard crank rifle guy, there is just something very addictive about that levergun.

An awesome thread indeed!

A couple that I inherited and some I bought
My Dads presentation grade Fabrique Nationale in 270. Still setup the exact way he used it on his last hunt.
He gave me a Model 70 in 270 when I was about 14. I retired it when he passed away in 2002. It rode in a high rack truck hunting Trans Pecos mule deer for almost 30 years, my Dad was on every one of those hunts. Longest kill was 547 yds.
I bought a Browning Citori 2 barrel set in about 1982. My all time favorite shotgun.
A 22 rifle from my childhood.
I am way too sentimental.

Just acquired it. Most every rifle I have is a tool. If a better tool comes along I'll look at it. But I've been looking for this rifle for three decades. Browning B78 in 25-06.

They ALL mean something to me! I'm not very good at the parting part. Really!
