There seems to be two groups of loonies. First, are guys who use and carry guns for a variety of purposes. To these men guns are useful tools, and like any other tool they're modified as needed to make them perform the best way possible. The other group are guys who collect a lot more than they shoot. To these guys the idea of modifying a gun is sacrilege. One of the neat things about the day and age we live in is we can pretty easily get/make what fits our exact little niche. I have a foot in each of these streams, but more so in the modification camp. I was happy to turn a pristine Model 70 classic stainless 7 mag into a 7.25lb .416 Taylor. The rifle went from about useless to me to eminently practical.
