Gunner, that is the way I look at my padded and scoped Pre war ..270 with some family history. Cousin bought an old family friend's guns when he hung them up about 1960. When Cousin died in an accident a dozen years ago, the family passed it on to me.
I once owned a nice all original 300H&H for about thirty minutes. Bought it for $500 sold it minutes later for $1150 in the mid 90s. Wish I could have kept it, but I was flipping guns to educate my daughters debt free. I thought there would always be another, as I had flipped numerous .375s, but never had a chance at another at a good price.
Enjoy,
Jack
