impala59 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Reading a few threads, it seems that many of us, once we sell a gun, we then instantly regret it. Thought I would list mine; Ithaca 12g DSPS wood and synth pistol grip stocks, Remington 12g 1100, fully tricked for PSG, Ruger M77 .223 heavy barrel, stainless, Ruger 10/22 Blue, synthetic, Heavy barrel, Nikon scope (couldn't miss with that one) Winchester Mod 23 pigeon grade 1/4, 1/4 24" barrels, Marlin 38/357 lever action carbine and that does not include the ones Big Brother took in knee-jerk political sweeps. Lesson learned I Hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerettaSV10 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Sold all my Beretta's and was the best move out. Sold my Benelli auto and wonder if it was the right decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redgum Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I had a browning, I think it was called a twelvette, auto, I learnt to shoot with it as a lad and when my father handed all his guns to me he suggested I scrap that one. It had two barrels, open for skeet and 3/4 for anything else. As it wasn't worth much it became my first choice pigeon gun with the 3/4 choke and I shot so well with it, it fitted like a glove and was very light with a funny double shuffle recoil due to the spring. I advertised it on guntrader and a bloke came along way to part with £160, his gain my loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Have bought and sold many 101's over the years, but the only one I regretted selling I bought back last year. Funnily enough, the bloke I sold it to and then bought it back from, was using it on our last walked up day. He never missed a thing all day! Whoops! The only other I've really regretted selling was a Winchester Model 12 'Goose Gun', complete with original wood and canvas motor case.

shaun4860 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Browning Ultra XS.......sold it to upgrade to a Browning Prestige...... ....big mistake.........Bought it back 12 months later Baikal (yes I know).....knocked the hell out of me until I finally got it sorted, could shoot all day with it after that.....Had to go because it was a double trigger and I was getting into clay shooting. Beretta 303......Couldn't miss with it but sold it to upgrade to a new Beretta 390, couldn't hit a barn door with that so sold it to get the above XS. I have had loads of other guns since but those are the only 3 I regret selling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
