Mine is a Colt Trooper Mk-III in .22 LR.
When I first got back into shooting (8--9 years ago),,,
I was on this kick to collect (amass) rimfire/centerfire pairs of guns.
I owned a Trooper Mk-III in .357,,,
So I hunted down a suitable rimfire mate for it.
I bought it through gunbroker and it was much nicer than expected,,,
For one summer I used it for morning bunny-hunts,,,
Then decided to just let it appreciate a bit.
So I cleaned it up so it shines like brand new,,,
And stuck it in the safe for storing.
I drag it out every 4 months for an oil wipe-down,,,
But I doubt I'll ever fire it again as it is appreciating nicely.
If/when I need a tidy sum of cash,,,
I'll sell the pair as a boxed set.
