Collecting vs shooting

C&R could be a good investment. Just like any investment, the cost is an important factor. I heard statement saying "you cannot pay too much for a nice gun"... that's true in the past due to speaker live in a fast-rising market. Situation changed a little bit since then, cost needs to be put into the equation. If a nice original C&R gun comes at modest cost, that's very good investment. Consider banks only pay 1.5% interest on long term saving, putting certain money into nice C&R not for shooting makes sense. If also love certain types, then, it's a big driver too.
