I have a few that meet the heirloom quality but I think there is two distinct categories. One with and emotional attachment and the other an equation of engineering, quality and rareness.
The first category I have the rifle I learnt on. Single shot Slazenger .22. Probably worth
$100 probably. Means a lot to me. And others in this category that for different reasons created special memories.
In the second catogory I have high grade Dakota M10’s, High grade Coopers, unfired Sauer 90, brace of grade 10 Sauer 202’s, several S & L’s, ans a factory chosen Heym SR30 straight pull. And many others I spent time chasing and subsequently cherishing.
My sons don’t want them all so I will let them chose what they consider is a rifle or two that they consider is heirloom material for them.
