I am not a true collector, though I like very nice rifles and shotguns, and I'm a heck of a lot more interested in using my double rifles and shotguns for the purpose they were made for than collecting them for its own merit.

So, I favor newer guns since they are ussually in better condition, closer to ready to hunt and with fewer issues. However, I would find a fine vintage rifle that is in great condition with no serious issues, fit and ready to hunt, in the correct weight range for a cartidge range I want very attractive. Those vintage rifles that meet my criteria tend to be damned, damned expensive, while high quality new rifles are just damned expensive.
