It hurts a bit. But its all good
My 99 .30-30 is back with its original owner's family.
I got a call from the shop I bought it from saying the family wanted to speak to me about the rifle. Apparently if was mistakenly sold and they wanted to see if I would accept an offer.
I had installed a superb Redfield 70 ( thanks again Sixgun) so it wasn't original anymore. Didn't matter.
I'm very sentimental. Couldn't refuse.
Sooo. Bye bye 99. Be well.
In its place, the gun shop's owner gave me a great deal on a nearly NIB 1987 production Remington 7600 .30-06.
Good rifle. Spooky accurate with .300 Savage class reloads using leftover .30 cal flat point/ round noses.

Re: It hurts a bit. But its all good
That was a very nice thing to do!!
I was able to buy back one of my prized possessions this summer. A custom Ruger Old Model Super Blackhawk that was sold off while I was very ill and not expected to make it. I found it at a show where part of my collection had been sold almost three years ago. I thanked the man profusely for taking such good care of it and bought it back. It has rarely been out of my sight sense.

I commend you that says a lot about your character in my eyes. I was also able to buy back a handgun this snfall I was STUPID enough to let go. ONCE
