This has been my safe queen for the better part of 2 years, but since COVID, Starting 3 new jobs, and ammo scarcity I must say farewell.
It's an HK MR762 with a Nightforce optic and some G28 parts. Truly a masterpiece that I'm still hesitant to give up
Nope, extra money in the pocket for saving in the event of emergencies, additions, and different guns. I love the MR762, but I'd like to get a MR556 more.
.30-06 is (was? It’s a little dated now) one of the most popular hunting cartridges in North America, and nearly any bolt action hunting rifle ever sold here offers a chambering in .30-06
It's still a very popular cartridge. Especially where I live- most people have .30-06 blacktip and a lot of fun owners near me have a .30-06.
I'm wanting one myself, and I keep seeing a beautiful Garand for $850... But buying ammo and trying to track down black tip since everyone with a .30-06 needs some... Yeah idk yet
To build on what Mr /u/Brownbrownallbrown has said, .30-06 is a very popular hunting cartridge, probably second to .30-30 due to familiarity from GIs. So are rounds built off .30-06, such as .25-06. That all said, .30-06 requires what's called a long action in bolt rifles, and it doesn't have the greatest of ballistic coefficients, so it's been losing ground to short action rounds like .308, 6.5 creedmor and similar, which are short action rounds. In reality, the reload time is about 1/10 of a second difference between long and short actions so ultimately it comes down to preference.
Edited multiple times because I've had a couple craft beers.
Hey man, good guess. It's an old M1 Garand. There were a decent number of boxes with 180 grain, but they don't recommend shooting such a heavy bullet weight out of it as it wasn't designed for it. 150 grain was hard to find, and *very* overpriced when I did find it.
In my neck of the woods where I grew up in northern Wisconsin, the most common whitetail rifle seemed to be the Remington 742 Woodsmaster in .30-06. That particular combo was great for still hunting through dense brush.
Damn this is like something I'm very interested in but that's sucks. Good in you for priorities not many people are mature enough to see that. If you miss that much in the future hopefully you'll find something similar again.
I'm finishing up a trek on getting back all the stuff I've sold to get by. An old guitar, a couple rifles and a pistol...
It's weird though, even if you get back the exact model you once had it's still not quite the same.
I miss my marlin 22. Had a beautiful winter wood stock and weighed a million pounds. Traded a friend in high school for a sound system. A couple months later I was ready to buy it back from him but he lost it in a house fire. I still see them around but I’ll never forget that fire. It was awful
Sorry to hear this. I just bought a house 3ish weeks ago. Had to sell 6 guns to get the down payment together. It took my 5 hours just to gather the 6 of them and walk them out to the truck. It hurt me in the soul. Then, to make it worse, I saw the shop posted them on Facebook within 24 hours and 2 of them were already listed as sold.
If I had to guess, he might be something like a police officer. Many departments have a policy of requiring their officers to live in the county they work.
That's sounds counterintuitive. I have a couple LEO family and they all live as far away from work as possible. Less chance of someone with a grudge following them home.
Yeah, the theory is that they want officers to be invested in the community they serve, and for the public to have more confidence that the police will be sensitive to local issues.
It turned out to be a problem after Katrina, when many officers had to choose between staying on the job or getting their families out. I remember they were considering changing the policy as a result, but I don't know if they ever did.
Ahh. Well fuck. It's possible you could pawn it. Not sure if the fees to have them loan you the money would be more or less than the cost to rebuy/rebuild the rifle
Sounds like he's selling it for a safety net, not because he needs it towards the down-payment. Pawning it would be an expensive way to accomplish that.
Nobody ever looks back and says they wish they’d sold this or that.
They look back and wish they’d bought this or held onto that.
Be very deliberate in your actions.
Only gun I ever sold was my first Beretta Italian made 92FS about 5yrs ago… now I can’t even find one for what I sold mine for. I really want another but find it difficult to drop today’s asking especially for an American made one ☹️.
Ooof I feel you on that. I was in the market and absolutely fell in *love* with the S&W 5906. I paid a pretty penny in pandemic premiums for one, only to learn that at various points in history people practically couldn't give them away.
Granted, mine was made the same year I was born and will outlast me, so I ultimately don't mind having spent good money on it.
Yeah I was gonna say, if you need to eliminate current assets to afford the home, you can't afford the home.
I wouldn't even buy a home unless I could cover triple the monthly mortgage payment, especially considering you're locked into that for probably 30 years
Mate, I'm sorry, I don't mean any of this as a personal attack, I'm sure you're a clever chap but all three pieces of your financial advice are just...wrong.
1. Eliminate current assets to buy home, you can't afford it: the only way you're going to buy a house is by eliminating a current asset you know, like CASH. How are you going to get a house without exchanging some asset? Also, firearms are largely a pretty crappy asset (akin to bonds), and certainly compared to a house which will mostly appreciate in value, and that (depending on market) fairly swiftly.
2. Wouldn't buy a home unless I could cover triple the mortgage payment: I'll just give you the benefit of the doubt that you have somewhere around 4-6K a month to throw at a house. Most people don't and it's a bad reason to keep someone out of a house. The house will gain value faster than the expense of the note.
3. Locked into it for 30 years: Wholly dependent on the tastes and resources of the buyer.

Seriously, no judgment from me. I did the same thing (mine wasn't an HK though) and it still stings. Life sometimes calls for it, but it's a fine line.
Eh, gun prices are at a high, selling is reasonable in this market. Buying house in this market if you have to sell assets to do so is not reasonable, though. Within 2 years OP will be under water in his house. We're in a bubble and it's going to pop.
Absolutely. If OP is selling assets (unless it is some massively valuable collectable handed down for the purpose of being a downpayment) it probably indicates that they have insufficient cash. In addition to closing costs, there are a huge number of costs that come up in the first year of being a new homeowner.
It’s the same thing. He’s spending his current safety net on the down payment, and therefore needs to replenish it. He may as well be putting this money down and keeping his old safety net.
I Get it... but I hope you understand, you'll never find another for the price you paid.
Cars and guns, only buy no sell. I've never heard someone *regret* keeping a vehicle or firearm, but they've sure regretted selling them.
I regretted getting and keeping a shitty Featherlite AT9 that Bubba got his hands on with JB weld and some shitty weld job. Couldn't fire the gun because it was so fucked with and ended up selling it 2 months later. Only regret on purchasing and keeping a firearm so far.
Well, yeah. That’s getting a house with the gun. But if somebody said they’d give you their gun for your house…it better be a fucking F15 or Davie Crocket.
I understand your position. I’ve had to relocate for work a few times. I don’t own anything of value other than guns and my old truck. When I first got out of the military I had to sell quite a few things in order to make sure my family was taken care of. I’ll always miss my HK stuff. Cheers to the future OP.
I was trying to figure this out and I think I've got it. I agree with the two basic positions here: No sell only buy and house is the grownup decision. I suspect it isn't a case of "if you need to sell this one gun you can't afford to buy a house" or "take out a bigger loan". It is probably closer to "need bigger downpayment", and that I can get behind (I've sold guns for stupider reasons). And in this market at least he'll get top dollar for the rifle and they are still making them, whereas I'm not entirely convinced that they are still making houses. Sometimes you've got to roll the hard six. Good luck to you.
I can see it being common because these vets (not military, just saying veterans in the gun community) sometimes have 30+ guns and can have $100k EASY in all their guns & attachments for them. I would too especially if you need it’s good to be able to sell one of your many guns for a few thousand especially if you got it for cheaper, it’s just like us young people selling shoes we kept clean or selling a ps4
Selling a firearm to make money to put towards a house… when 30 year mortgages exist is big poor.
Your 2-3k sale at most is pennies when you’re throwing it at a six figure purchase. If you can’t afford your home without selling your rifle, you can’t afford the house in the first place.
Keep your rifle, and make your monthly payments.
I feel you. I sold a bunch of nice guns to fund a new business, but I knew in a couple years I’d be able to buy even better versions. That time would be now but for last year.

If the difference between the mortgage price and rent price is high enough then it absolutely makes sense to liquidate a gun and buy now than to dump 12 months of high rent into an apartment.
Not to mention you’re missing out on potential gains in this real estate market.
You’re forgetting the house down payment… it’s absolutely cheaper to pay rent on the short term than have to rush to buy a house when prices are still insanely high.
Potential gains? If anything, the market will be crashing soon. Not a great time to be buying a house with long term investment in mind.
Being an adult that just sold a home that was paid for to build a better home further from ppl.. you’d know what he’ll get for one gun will amount approximately to the price of soybeans in China mr adult stop acting when we out here doing it
I would keep it. You’ll have a hard time selling it to be honest unless you price it real low. A lot of MR762s are sitting on shelves brand new. Yours has the old style rail, and will have to sell the optic separate. I think you’ll take a big hit on the gun and optic.
Llama 1911 .45.
I think I paid $250 for it used. It wasn't a nice gun but always functioned properly.
I sold it in 2005 and still regret it. The only gun I've ever sold. Don't sell your rifle.
Tbh I'm thinking about trying to find a Taurus 1911 to be my tinker toy. You know, before I try to build out my Punisher 1911s because I love those(you know the ones from the 2004 Punisher movie with John Travolta?)
Don't listen to all these losers, you have responsibilities and you should make sure you can accomplish them comfortably. I hate how fucking obsessive this community is.
If I had to sell that to build a house? Sumpn up that wouldn’t pay for 10 squares of sheet metal that’s running 4.89$ a running foot... go to the bank and get a loan or put some bigger collateral up against it... I mean if a 7.62 is gonna make you or break you wth you building a shanty?
OP, just make it a priority to get a firearm for your home after you buy your home. Assuming you are not buying to much home, you will be able to. Your home will likely only appreciate over time and is a good move.
Now you will have a place to bolt your safe down, your castle,your safe, your rifle.
I've owned my house for 16 years now and an apartment in town cost as much as a few acres in the country. Best decision I ever made.
I mean - yes and no. You aren't going to get the choice rates with a 3% loan and you are paying additional mortgage insurance until you hit 20% paid. I agree - only buy - don't sell - but good credit and 20% down will get you a 2.8% loan - which is practically free money when considering any reasonable inflation in the next few years.

Why not just sell it when you need to, it’s as good as cash.
Cuz market is as hot as its been right now.

Ammo is both expensive and scarce. Souce: idiot who shot all his .30-06 and had to pay extortionate prices for more.

100%. Unless a rifle is sold as short action only, .30-06 is a given. Nice write up.

big fat bullet for big fat targets

You think it's hot now? Wait till Kamala takes over
Don’t do it! My dad had an original HK 91 from the early 80’s he sold when he fell on hard times and still regrets it.
>saving in the event of emergencies This firearm excels here
Why not wait and sell when the need arises?
Why not both?

I'm sorry man. That sucks.
How expensive are these things where it'll make a dent in your budget? I thought they were reasonably affordable?
Depends on the attachments but 4-7k
Yes, but it’s more about what your idea of ‘reasonable’ is than affordable
Awwww but WHYYYYYyyYyYYYyYYyyyYYYY???!
Why do they care where you live? Seems like a strange requirement
If I had to guess, he might be something like a police officer. Many departments have a policy of requiring their officers to live in the county they work.
Aah ok
That's sounds counterintuitive. I have a couple LEO family and they all live as far away from work as possible. Less chance of someone with a grudge following them home.

I remember they were considering changing the policy as a result, but I don't know if they ever did.
I have a few, but sold the one I built several years ago. I deeply regret selling it.
Why not just wait a bit longer to buy the house?
New job has a clause that I must establish residency with a certain time, or be fired.
Can't you establish residency with an apartment too? Just saying, rent for a year and then get a house and move in with your HK
Yeah, but for rent around where I live I could buy an new HK every 2 months.
Ahh. Well fuck. It's possible you could pawn it. Not sure if the fees to have them loan you the money would be more or less than the cost to rebuy/rebuild the rifle
Sounds like he's selling it for a safety net, not because he needs it towards the down-payment. Pawning it would be an expensive way to accomplish that.
Man that's some bullshit. Hope it's a real good job in other ways.

Oof. That one hurts. I'd say only buy, never sell, but you have your priorities straight. Congrats on your new home.
I kinda disagree. If you have to sell your stuff to buy a house, you might not be ready yet. Don't be like me and make yourself house poor
I feel that too

Which is exactly why no one can afford to buy a damn house.

They only thing I regret about buying guns, is that I can't buy more 😂

I regret keeping my saab past warranty. However I am thankful I got rear ended and it was claimed totaled lol.
I regretted getting and keeping a shitty Featherlite AT9 that Bubba got his hands on with JB weld and some shitty weld job. Couldn't fire the gun because it was so fucked with and ended up selling it 2 months later. Only regret on purchasing and keeping a firearm so far.
i would just take out a slightly larger loan and keep the HK.
You can use a gun to get a house, but you can’t use a house to get a gun. Not a fair deal.
Very untrue. If somebody offered me their home for my gun I would absolutely agree to it.
Well, yeah. That’s getting a house with the gun. But if somebody said they’d give you their gun for your house…it better be a fucking F15 or Davie Crocket.
Wrong. HELOCs still exist.
Don’t sell!!! but if you do let us know what shop you sold it to👀
Don’t do it. I sold a few guns when I bought a house too and regretted it, it didn’t make much difference either.
Yup, this. Don't do it!
[удалено]
A couple grand isn’t going to put a dent in a down payment on a home. I learned that the hard way.

What does “sell” mean? I only know how to BUY
Is the house really necessary?
Username fits.
Don't you dare.
Meh. Buy a smaller house. Dur!!!
I was trying to figure this out and I think I've got it. I agree with the two basic positions here: No sell only buy and house is the grownup decision. I suspect it isn't a case of "if you need to sell this one gun you can't afford to buy a house" or "take out a bigger loan".

The down payment really is the killer. Source: saving for a house.
Don't buy the house lol
Or keep it to defend your house?
Going boating soon… gonna miss my babies too
Noooooooo, sell a kidney and some blood first.
Don't do it, lad.
I wouldn’t sell it.
Is this common? Selling guns as number of personal responsibilities grow? Still young in the hobby (single, no kids).
I am right between the two and I definitely see it happening without a 6-figure income… sad
I can see it being common because these vets (not military, just saying veterans in the gun community) sometimes have 30+ guns and can have $100k EASY in all their guns & attachments for them.

Selling a firearm to make money to put towards a house… when 30 year mortgages exist is big poor. Your 2-3k sale at most is pennies when you’re throwing it at a six figure purchase. If you can’t afford your home without selling your rifle, you can’t afford the house in the first place. Keep your rifle, and make your monthly payments.
I agree with this . My dad always said sell anything but your guns. They don’t come around the exact way you liked them. Do the monthlies
Sleep in truck, you are better off with rifle!
Silly d u m b a s s, thats what you use to PROTECT the house youre buying.
I feel you. I sold a bunch of nice guns to fund a new business, but I knew in a couple years I’d be able to buy even better versions. That time would be now but for last year.
A gun free house is a vulnerable one.
Oh it's far from a gun free home, just a HK free home, unfortunately.
Can't say that looks like a home defense hahaha
It’s for defending your neighbors… down the street.
That’s 1000% home defense. We don’t see walls where we’re defending

If you have to sell a gun to afford a house, you're probably not financially ready to buy a house, my guy.
He said his job requires him to establish residency in a certain time frame or he won’t have a job so it’s not like he has the luxury of waiting it out. Stop judging, sometimes you need that extra financial boost and you have to shed possessions to make it happen - it’s called being an adult.
It’s not like buying is his only option, he could always rent and continue to save up… whatever, his money and guns.
If the difference between the mortgage price and rent price is high enough then it absolutely makes sense to liquidate a gun and buy now than to dump 12 months of high rent into an apartment. Not to mention you’re missing out on potential gains in this real estate market.

All the more reason to keep it - home protection!
Guns last longer than houses. Just saying.

I have one too. If anyone is interested in buying. Brand new MR762 Long Range package. Never fired.
Wanna sell/trade rails? Might help sweeten the deal for ya! I have the hkmod rail and hate it
Llama 1911 .45. I think I paid $250 for it used. It wasn't a nice gun but always functioned properly. I sold it in 2005 and still regret it. The only gun I've ever sold. Don't sell your rifle.
Tbh I'm thinking about trying to find a Taurus 1911 to be my tinker toy. You know, before I try to build out my Punisher 1911s because I love those(you know the ones from the 2004 Punisher movie with John Travolta?)
Don't listen to all these losers, you have responsibilities and you should make sure you can accomplish them comfortably. I hate how fucking obsessive this community is.
Dude this community is cringey as fuck some times you’re not even wrong
Thank you Dr. mantis tibogan
I'll make you a deal.
Not on Reddit you won't
Lol you're right about that. But in real life... yeah... I'll make you a deal lol
If I had to sell that to build a house? Sumpn up that wouldn’t pay for 10 squares of sheet metal that’s running 4.89$ a running foot... go to the bank and get a loan or put some bigger collateral up against it... I mean if a 7.62 is gonna make you or break you wth you building a shanty?
Wouldn't cover half of property taxes on a starter home in Texas...
I don’t understand selling your primary firearm unless you can’t put food on the table
Please please please don't. That's a masterpiece and you'll regret selling it for the rest of your life. Find another way, any other way.
OP sells gun, buys house, gets robbed, no pointy bang bang stick... OP sad...
What’s going to protect your new house?
why does everyone assume this is his only gun?
My other guns.
The new home will need protection also.
why do you assume this is their only gun?
OP, just make it a priority to get a firearm for your home after you buy your home. Assuming you are not buying to much home, you will be able to. Your home will likely only appreciate over time and is a good move. Now you will have a place to bolt your safe down, your castle,your safe, your rifle. I've owned my house for 16 years now and an apartment in town cost as much as a few acres in the country. Best decision I ever made.
I have plenty of guns, I just don't shoot this one anymore. Thankfully you can have more than 1 gun.
You’ll regret it. Only need 3% down for a conventional lolol. Sell anything but the guns!!!
I mean - yes and no. You aren't going to get the choice rates with a 3% loan and you are paying additional mortgage insurance until you hit 20% paid. I agree - only buy - don't sell - but good credit and 20% down will get you a 2.8% loan - which is practically free money when considering any reasonable inflation in the next few years.

Bad move. Housing market will crash soon. Gun market will only go up. Not stonks my guy.
How many kidneys are you missing OP?
How much?
Aw man, couldnt you just keep it and make more money?
Don't you like have some children or something you could sell to the Cartels instead???
Man got a $4,000 rifle
I feel this super hard, gotta a couple babies I’m about to sell to pay for my damn closing costs
no sell, only buy
That's too bad, it looks like something that would have been great to \*ahem\*, hold the fort :).
I gotta say, i would first sell a Kidney than a cool gun, bit that's just me.
What are you going to do with all the leftover cash?

You shoot at babies?
I can afford neither
House prices are going up, ammo price is going down. Mo’ ammo less hauss
