Question....BSA sniper

[bros]

Gads I thought the Ol' Chap would have passed on happy knowing the rifle was going to someone who appreciated the T's for what they are, going on what prices the T's are getting from a recent auction here for just the rifle if the rifle you looked at had the full kit and chest then you would want at the minimum 150 $100 bills

This oldtimer could not be swayed, even by the sight of the wad of cash I waved in front of him!!!! I don't blame him one bit. He was still excited that he owned a all matching T series sniper. Although somehow he thought his piece was more rare and valuable than all the others because of the "V" (almost positive it was a "V" if my memory serves me correct) that pre-ceded the serial #, I just listened and grinned!!!!
God-willing if I live to be a grand old age with my marbles still connected correctly........there ain't going to be a fire sale at my address just because my hair's turned grey and I've got a few more wrinkles!!!!! I should have a lot more time available to myself by then to sit in my lazy-boy chair and stare at the wall where they will all be hanging. I got the idea he wants me to have the rifle but not until he waves goodbye to this life.
Sounds like things in Australia are getting quite pricey........really, they are all over!! Ten years ago if someone had asked me if I would spend $5000-$7500 on a English Enfield sniper in the future I would have thought of them as nuts!!!! I'm now in the hunt for a Longbranch T, I'm really nuts now!!!!
Seriously....as long as my bank is offering about 1% interest in a savings account (and certainly the central bank can't afford raising interest rates any time soon) I'll be putting cash towards Enfields. I only see the market climbing steadily.
