Some prices are ridiculous but the selection is greater.  Haven't bought a new gun in about 7 years so not sure on those prices..  Most the new stuff is overpriced or junk or both IMO.  I'd rather buy a nice old Model 70 for $700 than some camo'd garbage Savage for the same $$ and the Win. is only going to appreciate while the Savage will be at the pawn shop for $250 in five years.  :twocents:

Don't knock those new rifles till you try one   :jacked: I'll take a new Savage over an old Model 70 myself!

You can have them.  What's your savage going to be worth in a few years?? What's the Winchester going to be worth?  I look at all of them as an investment as well as a tool for hunting.  Savage was just an example.. I understand they have come a long ways and are probably fine.  I got a few older Savage's and the quality is low in my opinion.   :twocents:  


I never sell my guns. So not really an issue. I prefer composite stocks they are lighter, stronger and last longer in this wet state of ours. They are tools too me. Hunting is my passion not gun collecting.

Hunting is my passion also but buying/selling/investing in guns is right behind that..  Guns are a better investment than the stock market IMO.  A nice gun will always appreciate in value and generally at a greater rate than the stock market.  I agree about the composite stocks on the westside and for weight.
