Yeah, I finally justified the cost last year ($850). They are top-of-the-line sporters. Just Sweet in every way. I use mine for hunter-class silhouette, the gun alone improved my scores by 20%.
The 54 actions and featherweight barrels are great, and bomb-proof, so real-world shooting will be good no matter the exterior condition (barring fire or terrible neglect). Value variance is mostly about the condition of the stock.
