I consider myself a practical person and my guns reflect that. My only collectible is an English double muzzle loader shotgun that hangs over the fireplace.

However I can easily imagine holding the Corbett rifle and feeling its history in my hands. I really enjoy Shrapnel's posts of hunting with his vintage rifles and understand the attraction at a visceral level.
