Yup, mine was an $85 gun when new as I recall. The best I've been able to do lately is $470. Oh, they were the same gun so there is some appreciation in these guns.

Murphy, if you are saying you got the latest 8 Gauge for $470, a lot of we older Parkerphiles are going to be sputtering, and spitting tea and coffee across the room.

And, Destry will probably hold winged ducks and geese underwater until they drown, just for spite and frustration relief.
