Thats a pain that will never go away!

The latest finnfire 2 is in the new h&f catalogue

I purchased a sako quad with 4 barrels as i couldn't find a finnfire

Well i did but he wont sell it

Yeah , sorry , BUT I donot rate the new Finnfire II , as its not a re-introduced Finnfire , its just a re-branded Quad , Sako are just whoring out the Finnfire name & cashing in on it with new shooters that donot know the truth .

I will be getting a 2nd hand Finnfire soon , so the pain will maybe lessen .

Later Chris

In my early 40s I had collected about 20 sxs old English shotguns all makes, had muzzle loaders and pin fires as well, on top of that I had about another 10 rifles of various calibre's makes and models and three pistols, I sold the lot and gave it away as a mate topped himself for various reasons! I only got back into shooting 5 yrs ago and have some nice gear now. Do I miss them? No not really cause if you look hard enough there are equivalents out there.

I had the PC40 too but the PC9 was much nicer to shoot. I still have a mint deerfield rotary mag 44mag - can't part with that one.

OMG, back in 1994 when I lived in Palmerston North, I brought a Winchester Big Bore in .356, from a guy in Putaruru. He brought a Winchester Big Bore in .307 from the Winchester agent in Auckland, but in reality it was a .356. Wondered what was happening when the .307 ammo he was firing was printing like a shotgun!
Turns out this .356 had been accidently put in the wrong box by the pleb in the US.

Managed to pick up 3 boxes of .356 ammo from a gun shop in Gore. Later I got a large quantity of .307 brass and sized up in my FL die. Wish I'd never sold that rifle. A real powerhouse calibre, especially with 250gr pills.

Had a real nice Remington 700 Mountain Rifle in .280 Remington. One of the ones that came out in 1992 with the ADL stock. Got rid of that and replaced it with a Remington Mountain Rifle laminated stock and floor plate assembly from Numerich Gun Parts. Sold it as part payment on a Blaser R93.

Definitely one of the WORST decisions to sell that rifle. Think my 7 mm SAUM build will erase that bad memory

I can't bear to open the wound, it's taken awhile to start to heal, and to open it up again would only bring me to sob with the rest of you

Guns you wish you never sold


Any & all of em



But as in life - shit happens

Mine was an old Rem700 BDL 22-250,my first at 16yrs old, thought I was the man with it.Put a empty 22/250 case on top of a post one day at 100yds, put the bullet smack bang straight through the center. Shot my first deer with it on the 3rd shot with the fat part of the cross hair on its back, so it was a long way off. I was the man haha.

Sold it for a Sako 75 308 but I still miss it, last time I saw it was in H&F in palmy about 11 years ago.

Regrets of what I've sold. Pretty much all of then
