Hypothetical question

#1 Post by zzr1100 »

If money was tight and you HAD to sell your firearms ...
What would be the one you would sell last and why ?
For me it would be my brno mod 2 .. I would sell my shotgun, fishing gear and bike before that rifle !!

My Dragunov SVDS (folding stock version of the the SVD originally developed for VDV paratroops and Spetsnaz units) as it is very nice to shoot, is very reliable (zero extraction problems) and it is one of only a handful in the UK, in fact they are rare in their native Russia.I would sooner sell the missus before I'd sell this rifle
SVDS stands for Snayperskaya Vintovka Dragunova Skladnaya......hence my username :good:

What a horrible thought!...

...Last to go would probably be my 1944 Lithgow SMLE...just a cracking rifle!

But I'd go a step further and say that I would refuse to part with my Anschutz 54 under any circumstances - It was my first live-fire rifle which I've had for 30 years, I spent years shooting 10-bull with it, and still shoot it (with some success) on Mini-McQueen and Long Range .22rf...

...it shoots beautifully and is a thing of beauty in itself tongueout

I can't choose - they're all great apart from the Remington 710 - I could let that go.
