I thought the original post was from the angle of .22s. being cheap enough to rationalize buying the gun. That point of view along with the above reminder of not losing value should give you enough rationalizing points to go and get you one asap.Rex B wrote:That part about spending $1000 to save money shooting .22 isn't quite the way it works.
That 617 will always be worth what you pay for it. It's like owning a classic car - you drive it for free, excepting gas and oil.
With a nice gun, all it costs you over time is the price of the ammo.
Most guns hold most of their value, but S&W & Colts beat the average.

Re: Smith & Wesson Model 617 Anyone?
I like to shoot 22s because they're cheap but if you go in the hole for almost $1000 for the gun I'm not sure you will ever break even in your lifetime. It does look impressive though.
