Why did you sell it?

I haven't sold any yet but I really wish my dad didn't sell his Winchester bolt action .22lr from 1970s-ish.
Gen 1 German Sig XFive Allround. Was a beautiful and accurate pistol. Never should have let it go.

Which model was that? I was doing a dive in the gun safe and found a Model 310 Winchester I had forgotten about.

I was just asking him about it last week - we went out to AZ to visit. Being 87, his memory is no longer the best, so we're really not sure. I tried to do some googling around to come up with some options, but couldn't confirm anything. I was only a wee lad, so I just remember it being .22lr, bolt action, wood stock (I recall the wood being dark, but reddish brown), and had a sight on it. Wish I could remember more. I looked at some pictures online but nothing made me say "that's it!"Which model was that? I was doing a dive in the gun safe and found a Model 310 Winchester I had forgotten about.
Looks like the 310 started shipping in 1972. It could have been that, though him buying a brand new rifle rather than a used or older one would be out of character, we were pretty poor at the time (for those days). Guess you need to take it out and fire a few rounds

I'm having separation anxiety. I took 11 firearms in to Allied Arms for consignment and two sold before I could even get the paperwork done.I was just asking him about it last week - we went out to AZ to visit.

There may be two that I’ll regret selling but I just had to cull the herd.
