What are the last 3 rifles you sold and why?

[claybreaker]

2 of these: Winchester model 100's in 308
Marlin 30-06 Bolt Action

I was help a friend with an estate sale.

 

[bluedog69]

With the agreement he would never sell or trade it without giving me the first option to buy back, I sold it to him. He hunted with it one year, and the following year, he showed up for a deer hunt with his old lever gun. I inquired about the rifle, and he reluctantly said he had sold it to help cover a debt.

I think that was the one deal that broke me from future sales of my personal rifles. It still haunts me to this day....LOL

That is a lesson learned pretty quickly. I raised a coon hound pup and gave it to my a friend for stud fee on his male. He sold it for $300 bucks.... 4 month old pup....as long as he got first chance to buy it back.(that was fine with me no complaints) About 4 months later that guy sold it for $8000 and never offered it back to him. What might have been had that pup stayed with my friend........

1. TC Encore 7mm-08 sold to help pay wife's college tuition.
2. Winchester Model 70 FWT 7mm WSM
3. Remington 700 BDL SS 300 WSM. Had issues with it and my son's co-worker wanted it.

Forgot I sold a Marlin XL-7 SS .270 Win to a friend at the time, and that one I do regret selling.

I've sold 1 firearm and regret it to this day, it was a S&W model 29 357, not smart.

What year did they produce the Model 29 in 357 mag, or was this a custom?

He must mean model 28

 

[del2les]

He must mean model 28

Most likely a typo, or old age like me.

Tikka 30-06
S&W 29 mountain 45 colt
Tc encore 243,3006,204

Always wanted a tikka but this was blued and I just always wanted stainless.
29 was a great pistol but I have a 44 and seldom carry one anyway.
Tc I just never used and it sat around.

The 6 inch blued Python. A good friend whom I served with almost begged me to sell him the revolver. That was a couple of years before the plandemic. I couldn't make a profit selling to a friend. I let it go for what I had in it...$750. One condition he can't resell it. If he ever decides to let it go. I will buy it back from him for the price he paid.

The other one was AI Arctic Warfare in 300WM. I bought it from the dealer in NC that was in the initial introduction to the country. An acquaintance offered me more money that what I had in it. I don't even know if they still offer the Arctic Warfare anymore

 

[Skimbleshanks]

Larue OBR is the last rifle I sold. Quite a few handguns recently though.

Why?: I haven't got my life squared away since I got divorced a few months ago. Guns aren't the investment everybody says. When you need money NOW, you're going to take what you can get.

 

[sailorsava]

Last rifle I sold was a custom 6.5 cm, cuz it was just touch for me. Just kidding I sold it because I hated it. Last pistol I sold was a sig 320 the trigger was horrible. I will be selling a Marlin 30-30 soon, just because I don't shoot it and could use the room in the safe

Please let me know when you are ready to sell the Marlin. Thanks

Seekins 6 Creed
Browning X Bolt .223
Tikka 308

Why? I don't care to hold on to a bunch of firearms that aren't getting used. I built another 6 Creed on a Terminus, so the Seekins went down the road. The X bolt shot great, but with a 1:12 twist, 26" barrel, I was limited in my use. I now have a Tikka CTR 20" 223 that fits my applications much better. The Tikka 308 shot great, but sat around in the safe so off it went.

I'm not too attached to my firearms, so if I lose interest, I sell and put the money towards whatever else seems to catch my attention at the time.
