I think, being a new store operation, I am going to wait them out a bit, at $4500 perhaps they are at the top of market on their asking price. I have a friend with a 20 gauge Parker Reproduction for sale, and we want to look at that as well.
I am sure that the potential re-sale value of the Remington VHE is greater than possibly the Reproduction Parker, but with either one, we plan to keep it and for Edith to shoot with me, both on clays and game birds.

Grant ,None of my business,just an opinion and I suspect that is what you were asking for at the start of this thread ! Laying resale value aside for a moment,and just looking at the decision to purchase a new 20 Gauge ,There is no question as to which one to buy in my opinion ,as for the price if this Remington era gun has condition ,it is well worth the asking price and Cabelas will usually accept a reasonable offer ,the Repro's are nice but they are not real Parkers and Remington Era guns although they are not considered rare are still very limited in production ! I would say if you ask the majority of Guys that visit this thread regularly ,would you buy a $3500.00 20 Ga. Repro or a $4500.00 Remington era 20 Ga. gun ,the biggest majority would answer immediately the Rem. Era 20 ! As a side note ,I just had one of the leading dealers sell on consignment for me a #1 Frame 16 Ga., GHE with very nice condition for considerable more than the asking price of this 20 Ga. ,I wouldn't hold off long if I were serious ! Again ,Just my opinion ! Good Luck with which ever you choose ! Russ
