Limited production rifles

i'd shoot the hell out of it. it's a gun and if you're not a collector and aren't looking to make a ton of $$ out of it, shoot it and enjoy it. i'd probably be a little more careful with it than my other hunting rigs, but shoot it and enjoy it.

Shoot it then, take good care of, don't abuse it. It will still be of value as long as you treat it well.

Couldn't have said it better.

[Red Dawg]

thanks guys i knew you would tell me to shoot. I wont be able to scope it for a while because buying this gun was a pure accident so i was not ready. I know exactly which scope i will buy i just need to save my money for a few months. What do you guys think about a 6.5-20LR 50mm custom gunmetal grey with target dot. Leupold sure is proud of this set up, but they should be.

Sounds like the perfect top for it. Make sure you post some more pics when it done.

If your not a collector then what's the deal?

Would it be any fun to own a Ferrari or Lamborgini and not drive it or go fast in it.

If you dated Demi Moore would you not want to hit it?

Do you buy beer to put in the fridge just to look at?

If you got the gun, your not a serious collector, at least see how it shoots.

You and I think the same!!

I have decided that I am definately going to shoot it. I am a hunter not a gun trader. I will have the gun the rest of my life so who cares what it may or may not be worth. I am glad that i finally came around.

[Head-shot]

Wshooo, that was a close one, Glad you came around too, I knew you would, now ya gotta let us know how it shoots.

[Red Dawg]

Oh ya i will, will be a while though my wife would freak if a spent another grand on a scope. It wont take me long though to get the $$$. I just blew my wad on these two rifles and out and in state hunting licences. I guess I just have work some O.T.

it was made to shoot. trained hands put it together so some person who loves good craftsmenship would use it and notice how well it was built.

I had some of the same questions when I bought my Limited Edition 1895.  1000 made. I asked one gun shop owner about it. He said by the time it's worth a lot more I'll be a very old man.

I tuned it, altered it and use it. It can be restored to original easy enough. But I think "Limited Edition" guns are best thought of as Heirlooms.

Safe Queen???
Not in my house, hell I don't even understand "Collectors".

I've got a gorgeous wife, think I'll just bring her into the bedroom so's I can fondle a bit, and look at her...oh, thats enough.....TO HELL WITH THAT IDEA!   

You bought it 'cause it was gorgeous, and you WANTED to shoot it, to USE it.
Might it drop in value when you shoot it? WHO CARES, it was built to be fired, not sit in a safe. You let it sit in there while you grow old, and when you die your kids will sell it, and somebody else will shoot the thing. Think any of those folks after you will give a crap what your dead ass thought of it??? HELL NO.

Shoot it and enjoy is what I say.

(kinda like a good looking woman, you don't take care of it....somebody will)

I have a pistol that is serial number 1 and is the only one made in this caliber no one else has one collector gun sure but I still shoot it. 

No safe queens in my house.

ya ya i get it. I am going to shoot it. Like i said i am not a collector. I am not sure what i was thinking. I bought the gun because i likes it. So yes as soon as i can outfit the gun it will be shot and it will kill something with four legs. Besides how much can a gun be worth anyway. I dont think one would ever make you rich. I figure i have got about another 1200 or so before the gun is complete as i will not settle for anything less than the best for it. The gun deserves it.

Can't spoil our fun RedDawg! 
Enjoy that rifle, she's a bute!

[Red Dawg]

safe queen man that hurts. I am like a 15 year old boy in a whore house. I coudn't figure it out. But after some time, deliberation i figured it out.
