    What is the rifle you passed by that you regret not buying

    Years ago (about 40) I had a chance for a cased double rifle in 450 BPE by Holland and Holland and 200 rounds of Factory Kynoch ammo. I was working in the Gun Shop and this came in. Problem Just Married (1977) and expecting our first child. In the long run my son was worth missing this purchase.

    What is the rifle you passed by that you regret not buying

    Not exactly long distance but I had a chance at a Holland & Holland Royal double rifle in 450BPE with 200 rds for 2000, back in 1980. I worked in a gunshop and this came in. Cased with all accessories. Was expecting my son and had better places for the $2,000.00. Still regret it.
