Thoughts on unloading 1 of 2 deer rifles

I am consider unloading one of my two primary deer guns - a .243. Remington Model 700 that I have had about 20 years. I am replacing it with my dad's Winchester Model 70 30-06 that we have had about 30 years. I have a couple of good brush guns, a 1894 30-30 and even an old Remington Model 81 in .35 Rem.
But for the life of me I cannot find a reason to retain the .243. I had traded for it many years ago using a 22-250. Today, I might keep the 22-250, but I can't find a good reason to keep the .243. I have no emotional ties to the rifle. The 30-06 is a better all-around caliber and both guns are probably of comparable quality. I honestly don't have unlimited storage and thought of keeping a gun that might be put to good use by someone else is not appealing.
Any thoughts? Trading locally is not very appealing. You don't get diddly for guns from our two gun shops (these are the guys charging $65 for 325 rounds of 22LR). Might consider Texas Guntrader.
I am guessing the rifle with its bushnel sportview scope to be worth about $500.

Thanks for the input. Still considering it. I mean this gun has become a safe queen. I am not much of a deer hunter. Don't hunt every season, although I anticipate that will change as I age. Have always hunted for meat and not antlers. Did not hunt this year and it drove me crazy. Doubt that I will ever experience the thrill of reaching out and touching a mule deer in West Texas even though the family has a couple of sections out in the Davis Mountain foothills. In my country, I could pop deer from my front porch and dodge them on the way to work each morning on my harley.
For fast and small round, I picked up a savage .17 mhr heavy barrel this past weekend.
I was once a believer that he with the most toys at death wins, but I currently have no children who would be interested in my collection. Both grandchildren are granddaughters and they.....might develop an interest, but I am doubting it.
So the way I see it, no one to say "this is the gun my grandad killed his first deer and I want it to be mine.... (etc. etc., sentimental stuff).
Thanks for the input. It's not like there is a "rush" to get rid of it. But I am still leaning towards moving it out and letting someone else hopefully put it to use.
And I don't think it is a "collector's" quality firearm in terms of year built or features. Just a good rifle. Definitely pretty when I compare it to my latest acquisitions - the synthetic stocks on my 10-22 and the savage .17, yuk, but they serve their purpose.

For the deer in my neck of the woods, I think the .243 is the ideal cartridge. Heck my 30-30 is a good option for many situations. But as an all-around cartridge, I believe the 30-06 to be the best choice. Nearly always to be found, a variety of loads and if I ever luck out and get me a M1-Garande.....already have the ammo. Plus my 30-06 has my dad's name on it. Given to him by one of his favorite customers/suppliers back in his doodlebugging days in West Texas.

wonder if trading the Rem. .243 for an CZ .17 would be reasonable

Per previous posts, I have indicated a desire to maybe eliminate or trade my Remington 700 .243 with scope. I am curious if anyone would think trading such for a CZ rifle in .17 HMR would be a reasonable deal. I really like the ones with the full stock. Don't care as much for the set triggers on the cz, but probably could come to accept it.

and after putting a few rounds through the 30-06, I am kind of thinking that keeping the .243 would be a good idea, too. Man that guy kicks compared to the .243 (of course I had just been shooting a savage .17 HMR prior to squeezing the trigger on the 30-06). But it is really difficult for me to justify two high-powered rifles in my collection, especially considering I am not an "avid" hunter. Just go out every year or two and take a doe for meat.

Jogar - are you serious? Don't happen to need a Harley-Davidson 1982 FLT, too, do you
