Great post matt.

 

I thought, having thought about selling my 97... My 97. Ain't sold it yet though. And my scorpion. Funnily enough your post comes about when I'm considering clearing out, apart from the 98. And I'm so glad I've changed my mind... I do think some shit sometimes (no need for any comments there) I'm guessing all of us do re the rifles in the cupboard, 'wish I had that, don't get on with that' etc...

 

So I've just bought a new stock for the SE. Get it on a pod and f*ck you 100's. I'll bash the arse of just as many rabbits.

 

Yep, bin pub. Safe.

Rapid mk1 8 years ago cousins got it I'll have it back one day

[jamesS410 106]

That's a very easy one and appropriate given your recent project. A very early airsporter (1950's era) that I restored, tuned and polished up. I chopped it in for an S410 as a result of a back injury meaning I could no longer lug the weight of it around or handle the strain of repeatedly cocking it. I'm a big fan of my PCP but if I'm honest I would kill to get that BSA back again I suppose that's life though, you always end up craving what you've just got shot of

My old hw 80k wasnt mine to start but when i was given a permission the farmer gave it to me 3 years later he asked what rifle he should buy for his grandchild and he kept hinting that he wanted to get him the same rifle as he gifted me so after tears running down the face and last good byes i turned up at the farm with the same 80k thay he gave me only it was fully serviced all reblued and looking brand spanking new

The farmers face when as red as the roses in his garden he couldnt beleive it he honestly wanted to buy the rifle off me but how could i all i asked for was the opitiunity for the permission for as long as possible and now ive been out a few times with the rifle and its new very pleases owner gained around 2000 more acres of permission off him and hell hes even my boss so from all that i thank the old girl 80k a job permission and some great shooting

So i dont really regret selling her as i never really sold her ans she is making someone else very happy but by god i wish i still had her ???

Aa S410k walnut left hander in .22. Loved that gun to bits

My super tuned BSF b55 Bavaria, back in the 80s, I could knock squirrels out of trees @ 40 yards all day long with it, fantastic little rifle.

BSA goldstar. What a great gun that was.

 

But oh no, I had to buy that shiny PCP. I regret it now of course.

My Ultra.

 

I sold it because I wanted to focus on skill with a springer, and I didn't get the same 'feel' from the Ultra.

 

When out shooting with the springer, I'll take a shot and when I miss, I can't help but to think "I would have tagged that with the Ultra." But I keep reminding myself why I sold it, to better develop my fieldcraft and shooting skills. I'm glad it's been sold, but just now and again wish I still had it for certain shots.
