[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1472576, member: 10291"] IMO, personal needs and preferences seem to evolve over time. Add to that, the technology advances in equipment, many of my shooters of 10+ years ago bear little resemblance to those used today. If my current rifles used for PRS competition or LR hunting were offered to me 15 years ago I would have laughed! At any point in time, 20% of my rifles are used 80% of the time. Whether to sell rifles or not seems to be driven by a combination of attachment and financial needs. While I have generally chosen to not sell my rifles(and other firearms), in hind-sight, it was not always the wisest decision. After 45 years of shooting, I have many rifles(firearms) that have spent years in the safe. The market has moved on and, other the few of sentimental or nostalgic value, they have become dust collectors of diminished value. C. Strayed Quote: “But if I could go back in time, I wouldn't do a single thing differently. What if all those things I did were the things that got me here?” [/QUOTE]
