I don't look at price as something to make a firearm a good gun or something to pass down.I've shot dove with a single shot 410 and also hunted with a 16 gauge model 21 with Alvin White engraving (the engraving brings price into 5 figures) but it's still a gun or work piece!Why worry about hunting with a $10,000 gun when it's something we can control what affects it,but we don't think twice about driving a $40,000 truck down the road with morons next to us at 70mph!Get what you like,can afford,shoot well,etc! I don't shoot the hi-end guns any better than my LC Smith or Black Diamond Winchester...but I will drive my paid off 4x4 places posers wouldn't think of driving their H2's and King Ranch's!
