Buy recommendations Investment gun

I’m in a very lucky position to be looking into the idea of an investment gun. So I’m looking for some ideas and advice. If you were going to invest in something but would also shoot it maybe once a year with a budget of $15-20k, what would you get? If it was also “ban-proof” that would be nice. Hit me with ideas team!

Depending on its condition, a nice, all-matching, Canadian Long Branch No 4 Mk 1 (T) WW2 Enfield Sniper Rifle will set you back approximately $18,000 for a pristine example. I personally cannot think of a more practical, ban-resistant (unfortunately nothing is ban-proof) and historically relevant "Investment Firearm" that will provide you with tremendous pride of ownership. You can expand the Rifle, Sling, Transit Chest and Scope Case (a standard $18K investment) into a complete set of issued sniper kit, to include:

- Spotting Scope (Scout Regiment 4-Draw Scope, or Canadian C1 Spotting Scope with Instrument Stand Tripod)

- Compass

- Timepiece (Pocket Watch or Wrist-Watch)

- Binoculars

- Dension Smock x 2

- Bayonet

- Cleaning Kit

- Spare Parts Tin

- Clasp Knife

- Rifle Case

- Bayonet

Yeah this is probably the best option. Also one of my first purchases if I ever win the lottery.
