My two passions in the gun world are Pre64 M70's and Parker
shotguns. They don't have to be a mint SG 35REM or a 20ga A1 Special to be collectable and go up in value. A well maintained std grade 30/06 or a VH 12 will also bring the owner pride of ownership and an appreciating asset.
Only buy what you like or what interests you. The SRC 38-40 may or may not be worth $3K.I'm not a lever guy so it would hold no interest to me and I wouldn't pay that kind of money for it.
At the end of the day everything and anything is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it. My goal is to liquidate the collection while I'm still on this side of the dirt.
