Well...about 20 years ago I built up a rifle for long range shooting, out to 1000 yards. It was stainless with a synthetic stock and shot like a house a'fire. I liked it for that but it was still the ugliest rifle I ever owned. After learning a great deal about long range shooting it went down the road and I reverted back to my Shiloh Sharps rifle for "reaching out to touch someone". So I guess no, none have ever wormed their way into my heart.
