Savage 94C you should just keep collecting geetars and leave us collectors of fine fire arms alone with your negative comments. As far as I am concerned all geetars are only good for firewood
Everyone's definition of "fine firearm" differs. Last I checked this was still America wherein everyone has a right to their own opinion and the right to express it.
To me "fine firearm" centers around utilty: if it's accurate, of sound design, and efficiently functional it's a fine firearm. Embillishments, and to a degree condition and originality (but only as it relates to the above), don't add to its "fineness"- to me.
Aesthetics are purely a personal matter and to argue about them is pointless.
This is all rather a moot point to me anyway. If I had the kind of jingle to piss away on a toy of that value, I would be shopping for a nice Austi-Healey or an Alfa Romeo Duetto Spyder not a rifle.
