I must agree with estamated cost and value. If Galazan would make a DHE grade Parker with all the quality features and no cost cutting....Im sure they would start close 20K Well out of the reach of most sain folks! Even if I did buy one, would I use it like I use my Parker repro's...Not....Gotta love them guns from Tom Skues...still see them startin about 3500.00 (-: JUST GOT NOTIFIED AMMO WILL BE GOING UP RAPIDLY IN 2011.....First of march will be 10-15 % increase all brands just to start! China is to blame....we have built there economy buying there junk...now we have a metals shortage....I hate free trade agreements and back door deals! Better get your AA 28 gauge shells now!, $$$ 16-18.00 in the summer....Plus the sales tax!!!! Paid 32.50 wholesale a bag for hard lead shot and going up....HHHMMMM, In England....only weathy folks have and shoot guns for fun and sport !!!!!!!!! Thanks all SXS ohio...(-:

It's probably because all the guns Dean mentioned are guns of the taming of the west and a lot of people find the old west neet. Parkers wern't used in the wild west. Winchester and colt will always be king. ch

Kenny,
That's not true about folks in England. I've been over there shooting quite a bit and all my friends are just regular folks. A greens keeper (lawn care), a coach builder (autobody mechanic), a pipefitter (plumber), a security guard, a couple of goose guides, a gunsmith, and the list goes on. Plenty of regular folks have guns and shoot, that's including driven game like pheasants and woodcock. Destry

-- The most interesting chapter, IMO anyway, in the late McIntosh book Shotguns and Shooting was his detailed chapter about seeing David make a new stock for his Wilkes sidelock 12 bore. This is the "piece de resistance"- flawless workmanship, and worth every penny paid to restore that fine hammer Parker--All those years as an apprentice with Purdey have paid off- that is absolutely stunning.
