Last week I was at a range (bay area ca) and I had brought a couple of C&R guns plus this one:

(this is the deer-slayer: it solely responsible for reducing the number of deer in several states/on both coast and a few places in between! )
It's a Winchester Model 70 (feather weight) in .270 cal.This gun I've had since the mid-80's.
During one of breaks, a guy next to me came over to talk.
He had a tricked-out AR-15 that had more "accessories" on it than I could count (why I do not know - each to his own I guess)
Any ways I digress - He ask the story of the rifle (which I was more than happy to tell him!) and then he said promptly:
I'll give you (basically 3 times what I paid for it) for that rifle. Without pausing I politely declined his offer. He asked why and said this gun as too many memories and wouldn't part with for the world!
He walked away shaking his head - I guess some guys just don't get it that SOME guns have more meaning than others.
