Might make for an interesting "human psychology" study in what all of these actually end up going for - the semi-high-end bolt actions that are "special" simply by serial number, versus the fairly pedestrian-grade double barrel that is "special" for having participated in an era-defining event.

Think you're off by a factor of 10.
