Title: What do you keep????
Post by: wisconsinteacher on March 17, 2015, 06:11:48 PM
I have 3 turkey guns and one needs to be put up for sale to pay for some other hunting toys.  I have 2 BPS NWTF guns that are matching.  One will stay with me.  It shoots 260-270 with Hevi #7 at 40 yards and is ready to hunt.  The other BPS has never been shot and was my father-in-laws back up gun that I got after he passed away.  The 3rd gun is a 3.5" 870 with a Mueller red dot, weaver base, Knox recoil reducing stock and a SumToy choke.  This gun will shoot 250-260 with Hevi #7 at 40.

My question is, keep the 870 and sell the mint BPS or sell the 870 and put a red dot on the BPS and have matching guns?  One gun will have a red dot and the other will have open sights.

Lastly, what do you think these guns are worth?

The 870 that I would sell is on the left.

This is what the BPS looks like.

I love sentimental guns but if I had a gun from my father in law it would probably be the first to go!!! :toothy12:

The wife does not care.

The BPS that I am keeping was his also.  He was a good guy and we were buds.  I hope to kill something with it for him this spring.

I'd sell the 870, unless you need the extra money the Browning would bring.

With the 870 would I be better off selling it as one unit or selling things separate?

Well I posted the 870 for sale.  I guess I will see if anyone offers me what I am asking.  I figured I have $950 into it with all of my add on features and modifications.  I posted it for $850.
