Hmm. I've held, and closely examined, several O'Connor custom rifles, including not just Jack's but Eleanor's, and learned a lot. Maybe owning one would be the ultimate experience for collectors, but learning certainly wasn't anticlimactic. But then I learn something new about rifles most days of the week.

Other than their specs, what did you learn from holding/examining JOC's and EOC's rifles that you didn't know before you held them?

I own some rifles that had once belonged to a couple of "name" gun writers and while they are cool, I don't know that I learn anything from them that I didn't know before I bought them.
