What are the last 3 rifles you sold and why?

[YZ-80]

1. Savage 110 (6.5-284)
2. CZ 527 (.22 Hornet)
3. Marlin 60

Why? (this part is optional). But for me, it was to buy a couple more rifles, of course!

I think I have reached nirvana with my collection. This may be subject to change!

What's it like to sell a rifle?

 

[marksman1941]

Some guns matter, some come and go. Last 3 were -
Rem 700 AWR in 338 RUM
browning BBR in 300 win
Several handguns recently. Redhawk 454, sig sauer 1911, a handful of others. I only regret one sale, from back when I was younger and dumber.

Several years back I took a Remington 710 in on a trade for labor. I did not like the feel so I sold it. I sold a Contender 410/ Colt 45 barrel. Several years ago I sold a split bridge 6.5 Carcano. That's scattered out over 28 years. I find it hard to part with a rifle or pistol that I like.

 

[Duffman]

I sold a savage 6.5-284. One of the few I've ever sold. It shot little tiny groups, but only once the barrel was warm. It would throw cold bore shots 2-4 moa.

I know a lot of guys regret selling rifles. I've only sold 2. One was a wood stock ADL in 30-06 that kicked like a mule, the other was a tang safety Ruger .270 that I swear I shot 200 rounds through trying to get it to shoot.... only to find out the problem was the brand spanking new Redfield scope.
No regrets on either one.

Q: What are the last 3 rifles you sold and why?

A: None. In 2023, I added 8 rifles and a handgun.

My first CF rifle is the only rifle I have sold. It was a Parker Hale 1200 Deluxe in 22-250 that I bought new.
It shot 5 shot groups of around .75" at 100 yards which was great back in the late seventies.
The issue was it wouldn't chamber a quick second shot, the cartridge slammed into the top of the end of the barrel rather than into the chamber. Not ideal when I was trying to cull mobs of goats.
It was replaced by a Ruger M77 in 220 Swift which I still have.

I wish I was around when you sold that Marlin Model 60, I love those things.

My last 3:
1. Stag 6.8 upper, if that counts.
2. Howa 1500 30-06
3. Remington 700 stainless 7mm Rem Mag

Regret the Howa. It was a looker and a shooter.

 

[436]

Giving it some thought I'd say my;

Pre 64 Win M71 .348 WIn
Pre 64 Win .300 H&H mag super grade
Remington M700 6.5 Rem mag


If I could get these back I'd be a happy camper.

 

[Stevenstl86]

Browning a bolt stainless stalker 7 mag
Tavor 223
Thomson center venture in .308

Tavor was an impulse buy I never shot and the rest I couldn't suppress.

 

[Buffalobwana]

1986 Marlin 336 30-30 (why did I do that!)

1988 Colt King Cobra 6" 357 mag (Why!?!?!)

I sold a bunch of .40 cal pistols

Sold the 30-30 to buy a Marlin X 45-70.

Sold the King Cobra because I'm a big dummy.

Sold pistols to replace with all 9mm (ease of ammo stockpile)

The 30-30 and 357 are the two biggest bonehead sales.

Howas (Vanguards) have always been great for me.

 

[liltank]

Not all rifles, but sold none the less.
Rem 870
Ruger #1B in 338win mag
Mossberg 22LR
Glock 24C Long slide.

Had to put oil in the tank to keep my family warm after a construction accident when I was self employed. Wish I could say I regret it, but family first. That was about 16yrs ago.

Miss the Glock and Ruger.
