Winchester73 is right on the money as far as I am concerned.

Over the years I have had a great many ordinary guns and most of them are now gone. Either traded away for something else, or sold to buy a better gun. I don't know how many of my current stash of guns I would be willing to sell to finance a Registered Magnum, but I would certainly entertain the thought if one becomes available.

I had a 870 Remington combat shotgun. When I acquired a Winchester Model 97 trench gun I sold the 870. While I could have bought three Remingtons for what I paid for the 97, I would rather have one old warhorse like the Winchester than any number of newer models. I feel I only need one home defense shotgun and the 97 fills that need perfectly.
