Well, if you're really interested in getting that specific gun back for sentimental reasons, you should probably offer some form of reward in the same range a its value, lets call it $300. Since stolen items never become the property of the current owner you're basically saying you want it back for free, and that only means that no one has any good reason to check the serial numbers in their collection for a gun they most likely purchased in good faith (as even if it was run it wasn't listed as stolen).

As I get older I find hitting a mini ram at 200 yards with the 22 oddly more satisfying.
