i agree and disagree with you. The new entry level rifles will only rise in value as the cost of the new rifle does. A used Searcy, for example, will not be worth what the cost of a new one as long as Butch is making them. The same applies to the Brit Rifles.

The differance is that the Brit rifles start at US$40000 and Searcy starts at US $10000. The entry level rifles are exposing more and more people to affordable Doubles. As they increase their income level they will buy rifles that reflect that.

Brit rifles are of a finite number. Yes they are still made but I doubt that all the Brit makers together make as many rifles as Searcy per year.

A bad economy will see them still increase, as will collector cars, stamps, rare coins, good art etc.. Wealthy people don't suffer from resessions.

My personnal opinion is that used Brit rifles, of any quality and price will Double, at the very least, in the next 18 years from their value today. A good investment? Better than the bank and probably better than most houses if the Feds are right about housing prices. I am so sure that I will bet you One American Dollar. Let's hope we are both still around then so you can pay me.
