You want a good investment firearm, buy a 40,000 colt that only 2 in the world known to exist from 1890 or etc, not a 700 gun that maybe in 20 years will be worth a whopping 2000, big deal. Collectors of post 1970 firearms are a disgrace. They prevent someone else by getting a gun that another shooter would love to have so he could shoot and enjoy the gun instead of someone just letting it collect dust and looking at it occasionally.

Gee I don't know why you are so negative gumpys. Try and lighten up a little and enjoy life. Just because I don't agree with you doesn't mean you have to jump on my back.
The OP wanted opinions. I gave mine and you gave yours. I am not wrong just because you don't agree with me. But your negativity is just unecessary to this forum and thread.
I have seen what I have done by shooting a NIB gun that if I had not shot it I would have gotten more out of it when I resold it.
I have never felt that I needed to shoot each gun just because I have it. NOR have I felt I wanted to own a gun just to look at it in the safe every once in a while. To each his own.
