Opinion....if you please

[former173rd]

Just aquired a pristine Sako P72 (re-named as M 78), with a vintage Redfield 2 x 7 4 plex. I'm on the fence on letting it go or keeping it for my son. He doesn't hunt, and neither do I. Very nice action, great hand checkered walnut, and nice blueing.
OK guys, whats your take?

...deleted, unwatched, and ignored. The question was rhetorical and the OP didn't really want an answer.

If you don't want it or need it, sell it and buy something that would better please you.

OK, one for the minus side..

You just bought it for a reason so you and your son's not being hunters is a red herring.
You bought it because it is a beautiful thing and that hasn't changed nor will it.
So keep it to look at, handle and occasionally shoot.

You have a gun you have no use for but you don't know if you should keep it?

Always keep the rimfire bolt guns

Yup, I'm sure I'm the only person who faced this dilemma......

It IS the nicest .22 I've ever owned,....

I've got rid of stuff for less reasons……

I just need to know how much you want for it?

Same.

If it were me, I'd dump it, and plow the cash into an appropriate investment vehicle. (Though, admittedly, almost anything rimfire does nothing for me. To each their own.)

If you have fun shooting and owning it keep it. If not sell it and get something you'll have more fun with.

Saw this G36 .22 on another forum. He just won a competition with it. Looks like fun.


I think this is the same guy he has a YouTube channel on hk stuff.

If I'm reading the responses right, it looks like I just got another safe queen.
Thanks to all for your input!

I'd give it to me. I would truly appreciate it, love it, hold it, cherish it and keep it clean. It would have a friends in the safe and never feel bad for only being a rimfire, as I tend to love the 22LR best of all my rifles.

We need to have a "use" to own a certain gun? Boy am I in trouble...

 

[Jmorris]

I have insurance I have no use for right now, should I keep it?

No, you could be sitting on a gold mine. Sell, sell, sell!
