Anybody here ever sold a gun and then deeply regretted it? I would wager that most of us have sold a gun and at least felt some seller’s remorse. Well, I’ve done it a few times. I’ve had a couple of Ruger No. 1s that I sold when other shiny objects caught me eye, only to later wish I still had them. Well, the one gun that I most regretted selling was a Ruger M77 MKII in 6.5x55. It didn’t have any sentimental value. I don’t know if I’ve ever even killed a deer with it, but I just wanted it back as soon as I watched it drive away with its new owner.
Fast forward a year and the guy who bought it from me texts me randomly about another gun. I asked if he still that that M77 and he did. I asked if he wanted to sell it. He said no. I stewed on it for a day or so. Cussed my stupidity and bad luck, and decided I’d go buy myself a new Tikka T3X Hunter in 6.5x55. Figured that would do the trick. The Tikka is most likely going to be more accurate. It’s a slicker, lighter package than that Ruger. It’s more suited to me, BUT that M77 wouldn’t leave me alone.
Well, I got a text yesterday and the guy has decided that he will sell that M77, and long story short, I’m picking it up tomorrow. I’m going to have more money invested in that M77 than I had in it before, but the heart wants what it wants.
Anybody else here ever gotten a gun back after experiencing seller’s remorse?
