I watched an interesting video a while back talking about taking a look at all the firearms you have, for those that have quite a few, and selling things that are maybe not your favorite, just okay or something you bought just because it was on sale. Yeah, I am guilty.
Then spending the money, having fewer, but higher quality firearms.
For instance, most of my bolt guns are ho-hum. And I have quite a few. One I have that's not anything to write home about, but has sentimental value, is a Savage 6.5 CR. My late son took his last deer with it before his passing. Will never sell it, but will probably gift it to someone special that had a connection with my son.
However, I have one rifle that fits me like a glove; perfect trigger, just a tack driver and a joy to carry. It is a Christensen Mesa 308. I wish I had maybe 3 of them in my favorite calibers, but that would be about another $2400 and with the economy, I decided not to buy anything else unless I sell something to pay for it.
That being said, any stories of folks doing that? Maybe selling 2-3 ho-hums and getting something top notch that you love? Or maybe even cutting the number of guns you have in half and getting 3-4 that are just perfect? What did you sell? What did you get?
