Well, I figure it depends on personal taste and situation.Some guys will pay $10-$25k for a custom,wood stocked first class "stopper",like an Echols, or Prechtl Mauser,take it to Africa, and bang away.If this makes a guy grow faint, then he should sell it, use the proceeds for a hunt and buy another rifle.
Like JB points out the money may be better spent on the hunt.I know there are guys who pile up pre 64's like coin collectors,and that's fine, too.I could never get into it and would rather hunt it or sell it,myself.
Not hunting or shooting a rifle like that is like dating a Brazilian Super Model, just to look at her..or drag her out for show when friends pop over....not really the best and highest use.
