The younger people today know next to nothing about frontier times and care less....It probably will be a small market....

Place a pristine Parker alongside a new Benelli and tell most younger hunters the choice is yours....Where is the smart money????

I know that Benelli quote is very true , or they will ask why spend 1000s on a vintage sxs when you can buy a Stoeger uplander for $500 . I have been asked that quite a bit in person .
