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

[JiggyIi]

lh A-bolt 2 boss stainless in 375 H&H... There's been a few others that I wish I'd bought, but that rifle would have made a heck of a 375. If she didn't shoot, it would have been a good base for a lh 7stw.

lol I have a Abolt 11 stainless Stalker 375 with Leupold

California 37 years ago walked into a local gun shop in LosAngeles and a friend behind the counter said to me, if you want a deal, we're making room and if your interested I've got new Winchester 458 win mag for $470.00 interested? I looked at it and replied, what am I going to do with that. Yeah..I know...

Mine, 42 years ago custom Claro Walnut stocked 375 H&H, the fleur-de-lis checkering was impeccable. All for the whopping price of $350.

I bought a HK91 through the rod and gun club at Fort Lewis when I was active duty for $300. I COULD have purchased a PSG1 for $1500 and a HK94 G1 for $1200.

Kick myself every time I think about it..................................................

Oh man

That PSG1 you could probably sell for 15k now

About ten years ago at the tulsa wannamaker gun show. I was there on a buying trip for the gun shop I used to work at. A table there had a remington built, Springfield 03A4 with the original scope. They wanted $3000 for it and I should've pulled the trigger then. I have a soft spot for vintage military sniper rifles.

Ruger No 3 for $600.....was looking for another to rebarrel into 327 Federal Magnum.

When I was younger I went to a gun auction (a real auction, in person, no online stuff), decided I didn't really wanna part with my money that much but in hindsight I WAS A FOOL! there were many guns that sold for way more than they were worth and watching old men get into bidding wars where pride was on the line was funny as all get out…

But the one gun that for whatever reason no one in the room seemed to want THAT badly was a beautiful weatherby mark 5 in .270 weatherby magnum with decent walnut in new condition. Maybe because it was an oddball cartridge in these parts, maybe because it was too pretty and these were mostly farmers fighting over "tractor cannons" but that thing sold for 800 bucks Canadian I think (in 2012 I beleive). It would have been tight but I could have spent a little over that, should've seen if it could have been mine!
