[QUOTE="del2les, post: 3019999, member: 9299"] I made a similar idiot mistake in the 80's with a custom 30-06 I put a lot of time and work into. It was based on a customized Remington 30S action, a 26" barrel (can't recall the make), a beautiful grained Bishop high cheek stock with customized white lined recoil pad and grip cap, and white lined 45 degree rosewood front cap, and a glass bedding job. After several coats of Tru Oil, it was a piece of art. I hunted one season with that beauty, and a good friend fell in love with it also. So much so, he pestered me for a few months to sell it to him, and eventually, he made an offer to good for me to refuse. Or, so I thought. With the agreement he would never sell or trade it without giving me the first option to buy back, I sold it to him. He hunted with it one year, and the following year, he showed up for a deer hunt with his old lever gun. I inquired about the rifle, and he reluctantly said he had sold it to help cover a debt. I think that was the one deal that broke me from future sales of my personal rifles. It still haunts me to this day....LOL [/QUOTE]
