bonanze,

I didn't say I wouldn't own a hammer gun did I ?!?! I simply said that I would have a tough time spending that kind of cash for one because, from a re-sale perspective, they will always sell for less than a hammerless. Why? Because they are inevitably slower! There is NO avoiding it since there is an extra motion necessary to cock the hammers. I'm not saying I don't love the looks and heritage of this rifle but the only reason this rifle is $15K is because Cabelas would be selling a comparable hammerless for 20+.

JMHO,

John
