Vapo are you really findin good, clean used Mk V Deluxes in your area for $550? They are from $750-$1K+ in my neck of the woods. I would KILL for $550 Deluxes and yes I to would "build a poor mans collection of fine rifles" with such foder.

A "Mk V collection" doesn't have any monetary value and it was a common goal of many riflemen in the 80s. If you could "steal" used ones like Vapo mentioned then in 20 years you probably could make some money on them. Otherwise just enjoy the chase and finding them and the conversation pieces they would be.

Good luck,
