Yes they were. I think the least expensive was around $16,000. As for pictures, you will see and coon finger it at the FGE….Was the shotgun a Purdey?

Those Purdeys are very nice. They started as a gun for the royals of England and such. I have drooled over the Purdeys for years, wish I had the $$ to have one in my safe.Yes they were. I think the least expensive was around $16,000. As for pictures, you will see and coon finger it at the FGE….

I think that you are just paying fit and finish. Nothing wrong with that at all but as you’re saying it doesn’t improve the skills.That level of shotgun is amazing.
My uncle has a full Perazzi set that is gorgeous. After shooting it, I realized that good looks didn't improve my shotgun skills.
We all miss the Mouse but he is still with us in spirit. Just look at how we treat each other. To me that’s his influence he had on this group.Still basking in all the love that was on hand freely yesterday.
It was a very special day that I will long remember for a great fellow that I will always remember.
Thank you all for being a part of it - I needed it as badly as anyone there.
I miss the Mouse...
Good morning brother…Good morning
I will have to agree you that most of the money spent is for fit, finish, spectacular wood, and incredible engraving but, if you order one straight from the factory, and not just buy one off the shelf, they build the gun specifically for you. They take you to shoot their testing gun and determine what the carve out of the stock is for your personal comb height and pull length. Then when it's finished they give you a few day tutelage course to make sure you are proficient in use and accuracy with your gun. I bet even mcapo could turn into a bird blastn beast after all that (although his bank account might be very sore afterwards )I think that you are just paying fit and finish.

Morning, my brother.Good morning
Man. To afford one of those as a percentage of income that made sense, I'd have to be CEO of Apple. And even then, having grown up making do, I'd feel strange dragging that much $ out of the case.I will have to agree you that most of the money spent is for fit, finish, spectacular wood, and incredible engraving but, if you order one straight from the factory, and not just buy one off the shelf, they build the gun specifically for you.

I do believe that you get what you pay for with the Purdey offerings as they do hold there value even when in used condition.
Seen a few in the 150K price range that are just stunning. As said before, wish I had the extra coin to afford one.
Good morning
Did you hit the pumpkin show? We were going to try and go but other plans got in the way. Had to be out of town for the end of the weeka very good day to you Sir..!
I have a Rami myself and this is similar to what I want to do with it.View attachment 219958
CZ! Dang, I'm sore.
I think we coulda stretched that last thread a mite longer. But I'm in.
Still debating next purchase, gun fund not quite there yet but candidates are: Rami (maybe the one in the classies if still there and he will allow the wizard a pre-purchase inspection although a few have gone for sub $800 on GB), Colt King Cobra 3” (can be found for around $800 if one looks carefully—but what dose the future hold for Colt CZ group, will these continue to be made?), S&W 19-9 Comp Carry PC 3” (a little more $, a half pound heavier than the Colt and trigger not as sweet), or a nice Ruger Sp101 3” (down to 5 shots, not as nice trigger as the other wheel guns but considerably less $$, 1 oz lighter than the Colt, built tough, and lots of aftermarket goodies available).I have a Rami myself and this is similar to what I want to do with it.
Lol yeah I know you mean there. I also have dad's Shadow that I had to buy from him. Always loved his 1911's but that Shadow was one that I had to have.Still debating next purchase, gun fund not quite there yet but candidates are: Rami (maybe the one in the classies if still there and he will allow the wizard a pre-purchase inspection although a few have gone for sub $800 on GB), Colt King Cobra 3” (can be found for around $800 if one looks carefully—but what dose the future hold for Colt CZ group, will these continue to be made?), S&W 19-9 Comp Carry PC 3” (a little more $, a half pound heavier than the Colt and trigger not as sweet), or a nice Ruger Sp101 3” (down to 5 shots, not as nice trigger as the other wheel guns but considerably less $$, 1 oz lighter than the Colt, built tough, and lots of aftermarket goodies available).
Sigh, first world problems…
