So- to finally get to my question: What do the collectors here recommend? Where would you start? All input and opinions are welcomed.
Thanks!
The time to start collecting pre 64 M70's (or any New haven Winchester guns), was..... 1965...which is gone.So in short, I think there are better things to do with your money if you want investment opportunities..
But if a guy wants to start today, he should have a big check book. I would buy with an eye to guns i would actually use but I understand guys get a kick out of buying scarce calibers/models etc....but for me a M70 in (say) 35 Remington would be a safe queen and I hate safe queens.
I personally think the pre 64 market has gone to hell and people are paying stupid money for them. They are my favorites but it'll be a cold day in hell before I part out $5-$10 k for one. I'd rather spend the money on a hunt or a custom.
