Bob,

It sounds like there are Shooters and there are Collectors and then there are Shooter/Collectors. At the same time, there are some like me who will go out and buy a rifle just because he likes the looks of it, whatever its provinance, or whether he can afford it or not, and dream of the small groups it will shoot, despite his shortcomings. And, being the crappy shot that I am, I become more than satisfied if it just goes BOOM !! .... and anticipate the next outing when I can do it all over again. Having humility is a good thing

I hope I will find humility when I need it.

I have paid more for some rifles than they are worth, and paid less for others ... the former condition usually prevails, but that's okay; it probably doesn't really matter in The Grand Plan.

I am also of the opinion that if nothing ever got used up or thrown away, the world would look like my garage, and that would not be a good thing.

But, what do I know  Lips Sealed

Somehow money got involved in shooting, and I reject the notion that money has anything to do with my hobby. I ain't in this for the $$$.

I couldn't agree with you more Joe! So if I ask really nice will you give me the Maynard, and not involve any money? Wink

I think I would have to get the shipping, ~$25, and what I paid for the gun, $63. Sum, $88.
