Small caliber hunts.
>go to local arms markt
>scour my favorite section of gun shop, the used pile
>the used pile is a glorious mess of fudd guns, novelties, mil surpus rifles, and the occasional "assault rifle" that had been abandoned by previous owners for a small lump sum.
>personally found an unfired1942 mosin nagant with laminate stock for 160. Have seen a hex bolt for 190, but didnt pick her up. Silly me.
>find savage model 93 .17 HMR with grassland camo
>shop wanted 400, but it had been there for months now.
>go home and return in the morning with a strong taste for bartering
>a dusty outline sits on the wall where the rifle once sat
Oh well. The real tradgedy here is missing the hex bolt.

Easily one of the biggest mistakes of my life. I still think about those two rifles that I should have been smart enough to blow all the cash I had at the time .

May the kube consider my acknowledgement of my mistake and desire to do better again, and bless me with more opportunities for God-tier gun purchases
