[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2406067, member: 118816"] I have never been impressed by glam or glitter. While I do like blued barrels and walnut stocks I much prefer firearms that perform downrange than looking pretty above the mantle. I have found that there are $600 rifles that outshoot $6000.00 ones. I have found that factory made firearms, depending upon the factory that they came from are just as accurate and custom builds. I have found that $800 versions from one manufacturer are made from the same parts and barrels as pricier models with a price tag two or three times higher. I have found that the much treasured Pre 64 Winchester Model 70's don't shoot quite as well as the Post 64 models do. While I like blued and walnut I own several that are stainless and black simply because they are fantastic shooting rifles. I used to be able to say that I don't have any fancy guns but I can't quite say that anymore. I recently purchased a Browning A5 Ultimate which while not really fancy is pretty and shoots quite well too. I have sent several firearms off the Kramer Auction Service to sell to the highest bidder. Most are Remington 870's and 1100's 12, 20 and 28 ga all of which are in almost new condition. The auction will start next month (February) and can be found on Proxibid at Kramer Auction Service, Prairie du Chien, WI. To each their own but I much prefer function to glitter. I am down to 3 shotguns, The A5 for just about anything and everything, a Remington 11\87 for trap and a Remington 1100 20 ga with a skeet barrel for of course skeet. Slowly whittling my way down to only having what I shoot and nothing just hanging on the wall or hiding in a dark gun vault. What are your thoughts? [/QUOTE]
