Yes I remember well that lovely 16. It was a close call and one of the few times when rational behavior was adhered to

Rational behaviour? How is that defined on this forum? Passing on a H&H Royal after already achieving glazed eye status - is that the definition? In the pre-PGCA life, I think I had a handle on rational behaviour, now I'm content to make up a definition to fit the circumstances.
Cheers, Jack

I'm a big advocate of buying guns with O.P.M. (other peoples money). I have sold blood plasma, robbed Peter to pay Paul then mugged Paul, Visa it's everywhere fine guns are sold, home equity loans and 0% credit card offers all in the pursuit of a fine Parker or a Pre 64 Winchester M70.
I therefor define rational behavior as not using any of the above methods of finance to purchase the H&H Royal 16 at $30K+. It was a nice gun, I liked it, I wanted it but for once I listened to that faint inner voice and reluctantly but rightly passed |

A friend who checks in here occasionally will identify with the situation of which you speak. He once had long term custody of a matched cased pair of 16 gauge Holland and Holland Royals. Somehow they slipped away. Maybe he will relate the sad story.

I am often asked how many shotguns I have. My response is that if you know how many you have, you don't have enough!
