I still think it's good to have a theme when collecting, it could be one of a thousand themes but collect what floats your boat. I have a bunch of friends who love vintage side by sides but we rarely run up against each other. We have a Ithaca guy, a condition guy, a 32" small bore guy, a one in every gauge Parker guy, a fixer up guy, a new one every week guy, a Sterlingworth guy, etc. I love my big waterfowl guns and they make me smile everytime I take them off the rack and swing on an imaginary duck.
I don't try to understand rifle guys, to me they hold little interest but I am 100% sure they get the same high from handling their favorite rifle.
