I am sure we all have had on occasion to view a beautiful rifle with great wood and metal built by an unknown builder. Usually priced fairly high because of the build. My question is what is the appropriate amount to spend on a rifle like this vs a rifle by a well known builder. I know hard to say.
I am currently looking at a rifle built by WA Sukalle. I believe price is a little high as it is knocking at 2K. I have bought another rifle built by Sukalle and only paid 850. I own several rifles built by Charlie Flaig. I believe he is better known locally than nationally.
The whole thing boils down to whether I am buying as an investment or just out of the love of the work.
