Thirty years ago Steve Bodio wrote (in Good Guns Again), “An old gun will carry the tooth marks of long-dead craftsmen, the scars of hard hunts completed before you were born, the smooth patina left by the hand of an earlier generation. When today’s hunters use such guns, they carry an extra magic that I cannot define, but must acknowledge."

The majority of today’s hunters and shooters do not recognize this and therefore do not value this “magic”. Until they do, there won’t be a renaissance of classic SxS’s.

IMHO
