I'm thinking I got the Swede from you,,,, then passed it along to 300 grain. LOL That is correct. Its found a permanent home now. Already dropping deer with that pretty thang.

It wasn’t anything fancy, 30-06 Harrington and Richardson single shot with a nice laminate stock. I remember thinking that was the coolest damned gun I had ever seen. I haven’t looked for one, but would probably buy one if I happened to run across it. The fool tells me his reasons; the wise man persuades me with my own.

Before all of mine were lost in the tragic canoe incident in 300 feet of water on Smith Lake, I went through a stage where I had to get rid of one or more to add a new one. Some really cool stuff was in my collection for 2 weeks to two years. Killed some deer with some of them, enjoyed them all. Sad they are gone, but happy standing here with my slingshot and 6 ball bearings. Used 4 already this season, and have enough steel balls left to finish well.

I’m thankful for that advice. I know a couple guys who got hard up for money and pawned lots of their guns and never got them back.

I didn’t even keep the Sig a month because it weighed forty-eleven pounds on a good day. Easy come, easy go. I know the feeling all too well

I have a safe full of guns that I haven’t shot in years but I won’t sell them because I know that I would regret it Super Predator

However, I'm determined to downsize and have sold two so far this year (but bought a SIG 365 with the money, lol!!!)

My regret is selling this one: Kimber Model 84 stainless in .308 Got it from flounderpounder on here, bought as a gun/scope combo. Kept the Swaro scope and sold the gun. A fine rifle, and it was a shooter. Buddy who has it now won't sell it back to me. He's happily killing deer with it, and poking fun at me for selling him such an accurate, sweet rifle every chance he gets. "To anger a conservative, lie to him.
