I think that owning a firearm that is documented to have belonged to famous gun writer is cool. Someday my "previously owned by fill in the blank" rifles will be more desirable because of the "name" who once owned them. Until then they are just superfluous 22 Varminter, 250-3000, 257 Roberts, 256 Newton, 260, and 7x57 rifles that don't get much attention.
