I know a guy with a huge Winchester collection. He's pretty tight lipped about it. He has hundreds -- shotguns, bolt guns, lever guns -- probably 600 in total. He started buying in the late 60's as an alternative retirement plan. They go way back and everything is in good condition, about half of the stuff he bought new in the box.
He's 68 and on the verge of retirement. I think his retirement plan is well funded.
