[Garandrew]

I thought the finish should be blackened, its not mine, yet, I'll post the other pic soon

[Garandrew]

This is the rifle im looking at, sorry for the wrong pics earlier, I hate buggered screws








Against this Savage..choice? Which is more desirable? Only can get one now..same price +/- $50.00

[jrhead75]

"Desirable" is a pretty subjective term here...why not just buy the one that's most desirable to you?

[Garandrew]

Well, I thought someone would agree the Long Branch is a better buy? Since I have a savage?

In looking at the two, I prefer the Long Branch, but I could be termed bias ....

If you have a Savage, get the Long Branch. The last LB shown is a good looking piece.

[Doug Rammel]

I have both but the LB is the better of the two.

So I am a little puzzled here, you ask what to buy then post you have a Savage? Why the question in the first place?

[Garandrew]

Just wondering which was more valuable, a LB, or another S

The one you don't have in your collection is always the most valuable to you if you are the buyer.

The one that's not in someone's collection is always the most valuable to them.

There is no worldwide standard that legitimately can say a Long Branch is more valuable than a Maltby, a Fazakerley, a BSA, a POF or a Savage - it's all down to "the value of the rifle being in the eye of the collector."
