It's probably worth......$2600, though the euro is going up so that price may be higher nowadays.

American Rifle, Euro Glass on top of it.....

I'd say my most expensive is my benelli sbe2 and i might use that one the most out of all of them. Or it might be my Ruger w/the custom stock?

Well, I have many "safe queens", some of which could still be used for hunting others are too outdated to be of any use in the field. Some were never intended as huntingguns in the first place. I don't judge my hunting firearms by their price, I judge them by how they shoot and how I shoot them. If I like it and it shoots/handles good for me I'll use it.

To answer your question, most of my high dollar firearms probably haven't been fired in over one hundred years and I don't plan on changing that any time soon.

my benelli was pricey for a field gun, use it all the time.

i've got a ruger red label with AMAZING wood on it that has killed many ducks, turkeys rabbits and grouse.. probally a scratch for every one!

my buddy almost soiled himself when i used it for a canoe oar when the real oar got stuck in the mud. he still tells that story at the trap range!

tools meant to be used, just clean em up good!

The most expensive rifle I have is a Remingto 700 Classic in 300sav I bought for $510 OTD. Sent it to Shilen the same day to get a blued 358win barrel put on it. It was a # 3 contour I think with a 20.5" length. Sweet handling gun with a 40.25" OAL. Looks just like the 700 Classic 358win which was never made. Total was $1.100 at the time. And I only own hunting guns even my O/U's if I can't hunt with em they would be useless to me.

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.

My most expensive, and most used for hunting,gun is my Remington SP-10 Magnum (cost about $1300)which I use in foul weatherfor waterfowl hunting and rugged upland areas for turkey and pheasant and even with slugs for hogs. Ibought it to hunt with and realize that there are times when it will get dinged and scratched as well as wet and dirty but I don't care because I just love hunting with that gun. I also have a Savage Model 99 in .303 Savage that I inherited from my grandfather and that one is in well earned retirement.

Here are some of my nice ones - we seem to get a better deal un Euro guns here in NZ than we do on American ones so no Cooper yet!

You do feel a little more guilty dropping them or using them as walking sticks[:@]

Mannlicher ultralight .243



Steyr Scout .308


HK SL8 .223



CDL SF 7-08
