Over the years I've thought about collecting a few firearms for one reason or another but just never got around to it. Maybe I have or had a single example but never got around to acquiring other examples.
Usually it's been a firearm I thought looked cool or I found the design interesting and they usually weren't "high dollar". Some examples are:
Remington 870
Dad has one he bought about 1960 or so. I've hunted with it and have my own now. Just love the platform. Always thought I'd like to have a Wingmaster in different grades and gauges, 12, 16, 20, 28, .410 as well as cop guns, the marine magnum, etc.
Remington Model 8 & 81
What can I say, just think they are neat. Not a lot of variety, caliber wise but they had different grades and different features including a law enforcement model and I think, takedowns.
Savage 99
Again, I just think they look pretty slick and there are plenty of variations, grades and calibers to keep things interesting.
I realize these aren't cool or historic collections like say, Lugers or Winchester lever guns or Colt SAA but I find them interesting and except for maybe a couple rare variations they wouldn't cost an arm and a leg for even mint examples. So what collections don't you have?
