So was looking at recent posts for most favorite guns to hunt with and one person mentioned what happened when he forgot to put his gun away after the hunt. That got me thinking of us trying to top the other's story of most tragic way they lost a gun i.e. destroyed, broken, damaged.
Mine- Hunting in SD last year, put gun on top of my brother's topper to deal with injured dog. Remember what I did about 10 miles away from where we hunted. We turned back, my hope was that the gun slid off of the top into snow, my fear was we passed another truck on two track just before turning onto the highway. Found the gun...on the highway and it evidently was ran over by semi, based on the damage...MASSIVE! Receiver crushed, barrel bent, forearm shattered, bolt lever driven into the pavement.
The gun was a Browning B2000 20ga (Belgium) that was my grandpas, did about $1200 worth of revamp, got stock bent for me (left-handed) and put Briley choke tubes in it...
