My "grail guns" all showed up in places I didn't expect at reasonable/acceptable prices. I'm not much of a collector, butthere were just a few that I really had a strong desire to have and to shoot.
Grail rifle was a Browning 1885 in .30-06. Found one NIB for a reasonable price ($900) 2 years ago. At a gunshow of all places!
I like revolvers more than auto pistols for some odd reason, and I have always wanted a Python. Three years ago just before Christmas I scored a 6" Python LNIB (original box, original papers) $1100 - on GunBroker. It's easy to find a nice Python on GB, just not for $1100.
Lastly, I have always wanted a Browning Auto 5, Sweet Sixteen. I was killing time between business meetings cruising the used long guns at Cabellas' last spring out of plain curiosity - not looking for anything in particular - and - 'Lo an' Behold! I find a Sweet Sixteen stuffed in the rack, in very good shape (approx. 90%) from 1966 for $410!
