    6.5x55 Swede I sold to @Andyanimal, should have kept that one even though it was an ordinary T3.
    MK5 Weatherby Ultralite in .270 should have rebarreled it in 25/06 rather than moving it on.

    Lots, but several stand out; a 12 bore Manton percussion double rifle, .275 Rigby magazine rifle, .318 WR magazine rifle, .303 No.4 T with the Lyman Alaskan scope (1 of 99 made), BSA Majestic .30/06, .338 Magnum Winchester M70 Alaskan, .458 Magnum Winchester M70 African, .375 H&H Sako, Colts and Winchesters, plus all the nice semis that Jacinda stole. The only reason I did get rid of the above was due to financial constraints at various times. I can't complain about the returns I got but I regret it just the same!

    A BAR in .257 Roberts that the late Tony Hawkins built for me, would have lost it last year anyway.

    The only regret I have after many years of doing some stupid things, is selling a custom 25-06 built on a VZ33 action and gifted to me. About 1990 I decided I needed to liquidate an asset or 2 to pay for a naughty weekend in Sydney and sold it for what was pretty good money at the time. Learnt 2 lessons that weekend, Sydney sucks! And if you need to sell your guns for a woman, change the woman, not the gun!

    Bruno Model 2e for me, would buy it back if I could find it. Traded it on a Remington M597 22LR I just had to have.

    Miroku Lever Action 15 shot 22lr.
    Most accurate 22 iv ever seen. Traded it in with some other rifles to knock the price down on a new Sako.

    And my first centre fire, a Model 7 in 7mm08. Fired it at a Chamois once with 2 inches of show in the barrel. Stuffed it completely. Miss that rifle.

    Yet to sell a rifle, didn't know that was even a thing?

    Simply bitter about losing my L1A1 to the confiscation, pissed about loosing my AR too.

    @gundoc the 318WR would've been a bugger to get rid of. Why the hell has that calibre popped up so much for me lately? That's what started me thinking of a 338-303

    My South African rifle that I had for 12 years and stupidly gave away before moving to NZ having believed the agent who said it was too difficult to export / import. A 1970 Sauer made Weatherby MK V in .243 Winchester. Was a minter when I bought it off a colleague, by the time I’d finished with it the stock was as battered as fuck, and barrel was nearly shot out. But the memories of what I got up to with that rifle are priceless. It caused more arguments with hairy-backed Dutchmen than promoting the legend of Lord Kitchener. They hated it because it was a girl’s cartridge incapable of shooting anything bigger than a duiker, so I went out and gleefully proved them very wrong. Various bad things happened to that rifle, including me propping it up against the Hilux, forgetting about it and running over, thankfully on softish sandy ground. It also survived a fairly bad fire in a rondavel in Lesotho.

    I would have loved to have been able to restore that rifle, oh well.
