I don't see a problem with anything you have been doing.
Be patient and you can find good deals on pre 64 model 70's for under $1K
A lot of stuff I have that really gained in value were just rifles I saw and liked and were a good deal. I always looked for classic stuff, well built stuff, odd stuff, and stuff I know holds or gains value.
Very hard to predict what will be a hot trend in the future, sometimes you just got to get lucky.
I missed a lot of deals I wish I had bought but also by being very patient I have found some great deals.
