I go with skeeter on this and guywhofishes as a number of my weapons come with stories from my previous family members. The story is as important as the weapon.
Like my dad's Speedmaster that was his as a kid, or the 300 Weatherby he bought in 59 and with that gun, at that time, he was kind'a king of the mountain at deer season or the model 70 prewar in 22 k hornet that we shot a ton of rabbits under the spot light with, or the 45-70 springfield rolling block that some indian had to have back in its day based on the way it is dress out or model 92 25-20 that someone spent a bunch of funds on or the parker shotgun my dad bought for 75 dollars when i was a little kid back in the 1950 or so at an auction sale (had left the family but i found it years later at a considerably higher price), maybe my m-1 my son gave me as it is my only decent size weapon if needed, and the list can go on, have a hi-standard 103 supermatic that has additional items to improve its performance that i would never up, my dad had it and he called it his buck rogers gun. Yes, they are all number one in their own rights. Model 75 and 52 winchester target rifles that preform as well as my 97 Dodge cummins 2500 when it comes to pulling chevys and fords around and then maybe my first 22 as a kid, fieldmaster. db
