When I was a young kid one of my fathers hunters gave me his beautiful 270 Weatherby magnum with a leupold scope,about 6 years later I sold this rifle for a bargain basement price so I could buy a ticket to Mexico,I have regreted it ever since .Have any of you guys sold a rifle and now deeply miss it ?

Every rifle I have ever sold.
Ones that really stand out:

Sako A2 action, MCM 30" 1 in 12 twist palma barrel on a Paul Reuban stock. Sold it to finance another rifle build.

Cooey .22- The first rifle I ever bought with my own money. Sold it to finance nothing useful.

I have never sold a rifle, but I am about to hand down my first rifle to my son. Nothing special by most standards, but it should be as special to my son as it was to me. It's a Marlin 30-30 that I got when I was fourteen

I usually don't part with them...actually aside from a pellet gun, I have never sold a gun to anyone

Rifles, shotguns and handguns!!! In almost all cases, I've repurchased the same as what I have sold. Just a few that come to mind, 6" Colt Python, 10ga AYA, model 70 .300wm, model 70 feather weight 7x57, 4" model 29 and a Brno combo 7x57/12ga.

I once said Id never sell a rifle. That was a few years ago and almost two dozen rifles have come and gone. Biggest standout is a custom 25-284 on a 700 action that would put 110 gr Accubonds into .3's if I did my part. But it did nothing my custom 260 remington didnt, so it went to someone who could use it more than I could.

I currently have only three centerfires.

but I use them more and get more joy out of them than I got out of a dozen rifles, some of which might only see the range a couple times a year.

Yes!!!!! I had a Sako Finnbear Deluxe, 7mm Rem. Mag.-Leupold VX-2,
3-9 40mm. Sold it for $650.00. And have been shaking my head saying "Stupid,Stupid,Stupid" ever since.

I have sold numerous guns that I regret. 1) a colt 45 gold cup, 2) Browning Citori trap, 3) Husky .270 worst of all my Browning BT 99. I don't have enough tears to shed.
