But that doesn't mean we shouldn't buy some new ones to pass down along with the heirlooms! Nothing could be finer than to have a vintage Remington Model 11, 700, 870, or 1100 to go along with these fine vintage X-Acto examples. Just buy a new 700, 870, or 1100 (the 11 is long discontinued) to go with them and hopefully pull them out of bankruptcy. I haven't shopped for modern X-Acto products in over a decade. Do they produce anything now that we'd want to get our hands on?
P.S. I don't want to turn this into X-Acto vs Excel or Remington vs Browning vs Winchester. I'm just promoting collecting both vintage and new fine instruments. 
GH, I bet you never thought I'd weave a John Moses Browning design into this thread and have it fit!
