I've got time on my hands so I get to contemplate these oddities. I think Stans explanation is the closest thing to how I seem to feel about it all, and Fudds situation is probably the best argument for having one available. I keep thinking about the Luftwaffe's lovely pilot-supplied drillings during the second world war and how they might have been used. As a practical matter, the really nice drillings that I have gotten to see (and then hold) are pretty expensive and... at that point I'm probably out of the equation. Moreover, when I look at the Savage 24's online (and the one Ed just listed here) I'm just not captivated by them. The nicer ones are fun to contemplate though.
