mckinney: I have reached a point in life where it is time to leave the collecting hobby. I have specialized in Mauser Sporters for the past 20 years and have enjoyed every minute of it. pablo: People have the option to invest in the stock market, real estate, gold, coins, etc., but to put together a good quality firearms collection for both personal enjoyment & solid investment for the future is hard to beat. Mauser, for example, built around 126,000 Sporters and I'll bet there are less than 2000 collector grade rifles left on the planet. The basic principle of supply & demand. The way the world economy is going, with all the worthless currency being printed, you will not regret investing in fine firearms. Thats my best advice.
