Thread: Is there a rifle you wish you 'd never got rid of?

Not a rifle but a scope I regret moving on.
A Luepy vari-x III 3.5-10x50...I had the reticle changed to a Luepold Dot and had an M1 turret installed on the elevation. It cost $1300 which at the time was a huge investment.
I caught the long range bug and decided I "needed" more magnification and foolishly sold it to a member on here.
Every now and then he posts a pic of it to remind me of my mistake

lots of them. but in particular the first 7-08 bushpig Tikka i had had a mcrae can on it that i can never replace. Then the series of 3 7mm rem mags. all were perfect. specifically this one here that was an ABE abomination and looked like a cheese cutter had gone all over it. (if anyone has this rifle please get intouch)

basically if i could i'd still have them all.

Only rifle I've parted ways with and it certainly wasn't by choice

Blaser R93 308 20in Black edition with fluted barrel. Grade 5 stock. Got a R8 black in 30-06 instead.

That R93 shot a ton of game.

No actually it was my a straight pull HEYM Keiler Concord fully engraved. Even my wife got pissed that I sold that for the R93.

Hey ho. They’d be no use in No anyway.

Mauser M98 1908 7x57......Mauser M98 1909 .270 Win.....Sako Vixen in mint condition (should have kept it as an investment - people are willing to pay ridiculous prices for them).

I wish I had never had to hand in my 9mm carbine, that I had never even fired, not once, that I had bought as my own Xmas present in Dec '18, and which that Stasi-clone Cahill and that horse-faced Socialist Ardern required me to hand in under severe penalty if I did not comply.

Even though, I had not relaxed the rules (as She had through the Cabinet Committee she chaired) and even though I had not armed the Australian immigrant (as her NZ Police factotums had).

Of course I handed it in, because I have a wife and children living at the address the COL knew.

And, of course I lost $$$, compared to what I had spent.

FYFF.

That is all.

A Rem model 7 wood/blue 308 still with the open sights and 4x32 Nikko sterling I got from Dave Shaw’s shop in Hamilton. 18” barrel had quite a bark. Sold it to get a Marlin 708. Should have kept it like a couple of old valiant’s I owned ��

Something I should have kept and passed onto the grand kids.

Well if you were able to shoot the pictured cartridges through it, it certainly would have been one of a kind!

My Tigr, even though it was a straight pull. Was the closest I got to owning an SVD which I still have a soft spot for.

I can’t even get an SVT-40 anymore
