Nice feather on both sides. I have no connection to it.

Nice wood for sure !

To bad the gun has nicks & dings all over it. IMO it's priced way to high considering the condition.

[Rich Anderson]

Thats Cabellas for you, either over or under priced. I just talked to a friend and they had a Monogram LC Smith 16 I think that was sold for a third of its true value.

I got a dt bt pg 12 from them in better condition for 3500 last year!

I didn't say Cabela's was a good place to buy from, or that it was a good deal, only that the figure in the wood was nice...:rolleyes:.

Another with very nice wood and a price to match. Looks like claro to me, I prefer European:

I have had some reproductions with very nice wood. I think Claro was used in the majority of production.

I own both claro and English stocked repro guns...A good stick of English is my favorite! I also own a Galazan RBL-28 with their best American walnut that is knock out top shelf wood!

This was a beauty too until someone broke the wrist:

And what would be a correct price for a Monogram Rich?

[Rich Anderson]

If memory serves they had people waiting in line for it at $9K. It was a high condition gun.

Wow, perhaps the nicest wood on a Repro that my eyes have enjoyed.

( And I do look quite around quite a bit, just for the 'joy of wood' )

Nice one! My first Repro .was a 20 ga. which was specially selected from inventory for me by Jack Skeuse. It had the most fabulous piece of heavily burled, dark Claro walnut that I have ever seen. Naturally I sold it long ago and never took a picture of it :banghead:!

Ah well, We all do things we later regret: I am on my 3rd Parker Repro 28 Gauge, and once had a 12 Ga repro. I've loved them all, wish I had every Parker I traded over the years, but wish I had other things I thought would never end as well (grin)
My current repro 28 is straight stocked, double triggered 28 inch and beaver tailed.
You can have it when as they say, it's pried it out of my cold, dead hands. It's not the prettiest wood, but.....it's feel between the hands makes up for that.
I also have a 32" 12 ga VH restocked (the old stock was ruined) by an older genius into insanely figured walnut with a big beavertail fore end which blisters trap targets, ducks and roosters...but carrying it very far is tiring for an old guy who once carried a Browning 30" full choked A5 all day like it was nothing. I guess the difference between 15 years old and 72 years old?
I have a son, and 4 grandsons who will each inherit a decent side by side. I haven't decided who gets what, except for my son. Maybe draw straws?

heh sam its been a long time since i carried them heavy old guns all day too..but still hunt with them..the little lite guns are really great for all day carry but i can not carry all day anymore...i carried a little 20 ga for two hours the other day it still felt lite at the end of a hard two hour walk but my old legs said i had been walking much farther...i think my grandsons are gona have to draw straws too... charlie
