No offense, but if you have to ask, you are not enough of a collector for it to be worth the extra money it will cost you. Go with some of the less expensive choices others have mentioned. I'm not downing you, I buy shooters myself, I'm not paying another $500-1000 for a gun I'm afraid to scratch, shoot etc. No offense to collectors either, but I'd have to hit about 40k in guns before I'm ready to start thinking about just because guns. To each his own.
