RE: Okay, what is the most expensive gun you own, and are willing to hunt with it?
I wouldn't buy something that I wouldn't hunt or shoot with, even though I own a couple that I inherited that I wouldn't shoot or hunt with.
I have a Sako L691 that retailed for around $1,100 back in 1994 when I got it (for $750...my BIL was a dealer). I put a Leupold Vari X III 4.5 X 14 on it (another $450 back then). I have used that rifle a lot and it shows it in certain areas. But that is what I got it for.
