Of course, I know it’s a personal decision, but I guess I would like to know which the enthusiasts here would find most desirable, or easiest to sell for the most; however, the more I look at the English walnut sporter, the more certain I am it will stay and the VE will go down the road. No hurry, really, and maybe I’ll just bide my time, but I really want to shoot one of these!!!
I appreciate the input.
