Now jOe, you know full well that you didn't buy that Purdey only because it is a good shooter. You also bought it because it is beautiful. And, why the Scott if not also beause it is beautiful. Shooter and Collector are not absolutes. There is a continum between these two polar inclinations. You may be more shooter than collector, but you also spend money on guns just because you find them desirable to own. LG, too! You all own guns that are a long way from pure utility.
