and how do you assign value to soul?

Few of us who are truly doublegun aficionados value practicality over nostalgia. If I wanted a nice practical gun I would be on the Benelli forum but I'm not. I fill my freezer every year with wild game, not because it is less costly but because I thoroughly enjoy my time an the field and vintage double add to my experience. YMMV,
Steve
