What Guns Do You Wish You Had Bought?

[Tex929rr]

BTW, I am bidding on a GP100 in 44 special on line right now. It’s never too late…

 

[Tex929rr]

I always envisioned my 296 handloaded with "manstoppers" (cup-nosed wadcutters, basically) of moderate weight (say, 200 grains) moving at moderate speeds (say, ~900 fps). That's plenty of oomph for defensive use but not so much that I'd dread practicing.

The issue in this case is the light weight of the Night Guard. I load the same load in 44 magnum cases and in my 629 it’s very pleasant to shoot. If I win the auction for the GP100 I expect similar ease of handling.

When I bought my Marlin Dark 30-30, I wish I had bought the other 3 in stock. Bought mine pre rice rabies/ Marlin bankruptcy. They were selling for almost $4k on gunbroker during the height of the stupid.

Ithaca Auto and Hamburglar

I was tempted to buy one of the Mosin Nagant PU Sniper rifles (turned down bolt and fixed power scope). IIRC they were $400ish when the plain jane 91/30's were going for $79. I was poor as f**k at the time so the PU was not to be. Don't really see the PU's anymore...

AK kits too. They were once cheap and plentiful. Now they are cost prohibitive even if you can still find them

 

[BMF500]

Browning White Lightning 16ga. Back when those units were </= $1,200.00 NIB @ Briley & before they became "Shot Show Specials".

AND

An Athena Grade III or higher while they were still in production and relatively "affordable".

I regret not buying a Remington Model 8 aroud 15 to 20 years ago. They are cost prohibitive now.

I also wish I had bought about 5 to 10 each of Enfields, Mosin Nagant 91/30s & M44s, and Russian, Yugoslavian, Norinco or Albanian SKS rifles - preferably 10 of each about 15 years ago. Then again, even 10 decent Carcano and 10 Arisaka rifles would have been an excellent buy a decade ago. Who could have imagined what they all go for now as compared to then!

We had all my father in law’s guns after he passed. I made a list and offered whatever they wanted to my wife’s siblings (I figured it was only fair). The Remington Model 8 was his hunting rifle until the 80’s and now one of her sisters has it.

The Model 8 is a true classic. One of the first reliable centerfire semi-auto rifles. If I am ever able to actually save any money again, I may search one out but right now, just cannot afford one without dipping into my savings.

 

[oldag]

All of them.

Everyone just needs to start buying everything they want so they don't have this problem in the future.

 

[m5215]

I want the legendary 88 Magnum...

 

[Nexus]

Romanian PSL when they were $800. Put it off way too long. Now good ones are around 2k.

 

[Axxe55]

All of them.

Very true. Even the ones I didn't really like or want I could probably double the money I paid for them or sold them for the first time!

 

[innominate]

There was a colt python for sale here a few months ago that got away.

 

[mm54943]

Still have yet to come across one in person, but if I found a Detonics Scoremaster in good condition for a reasonable price I'd probably bite. I've read stories online about people finding them for as low as $700. It's such a beautiful gun.

Remington BDL chambered in 8mm Remington Magnum. I had an 8mm mag rifle don't remember the make and sold it. Used reloads in it.
