Maybe I aspire to be a collector AND a hoarder, but I'm really a poor man's version of both I suppose. I have a couple of English shotguns that I like. I would like to upgrade them and would like the upgrade to have a pistol grip, even if English. One of my two current English guns is pistol gripped. Or Prince of Wales gripped anyway. I wouldn't mind a good American gun for an upgrade but I don't know what I'm looking at and prices seem quite high relative to English or other European.

In the rifle world, I'm definitely more of a shooter than a hoarder or a collector. Very few of my rifles are collectible, but they are very expensive like collectibles, and I do have quite a number, but all of them are purposeful, and can't be ascribed to hoarding.
