I have NO doubt that, right now even as we speak, some foolish person is considering the purchase. And OF COURSE the price will rise over time, we all know that!
My point is that, in my mind, this is and will always remain a mass-produced tool that's been gussied up with some engraving and a certain flashiness. Like I said, lipstick on a pig. Now, I like pork(Remingtons) better than most folks on this forum but I'm not willing to pay filet mignon prices for what's basically only an engraved tool with zero charisma.
If the engraving had been done by Lynton McKenzie, though.....
If I had a spare $18K I'd look at something a lot older and a lot finer, or else a lot newer and made to my specs by a master, not the Remington 'custom' shop. Sorry, JMO.
