look, i am not a religous freak, but i DO believe in GOD, and Jesus, and "holy" things. but Jesus did not carry a firearm, so there can not be a "holy grail of firearms" as none of them are holy! firearms are a man made invention, not something GOD gave to us. and in a way, i do take some offense to the "holy" line.
now, being a gun freak, the most loved, best followed, imitated, etc would be fine by me. personally, i would just go absoloutly nutz for a real Holland and Holland bolt action rifle chambered in 300 Holland and Holland magnum. OR a Holland and Holland double chambered in something like 600 or 700 nitro express. i probably would only shoot the later once, just to see how hard the monster kicked (as i could never afford to go to africa and shoot something with it) but it would be AWESOME! those guns ARE a work of art! custom fitted to you. every gun nuts dream. but, how many of us can afford $25,000 - $45,000 for a rifle!?!
