I wonder sometimes, not having a ton of knowledge, where folks get their values on their guns. I keep seeing gun listed and re listed over and over without a single bid but they insist it's worth the money. Now with kids going to college I'm not likely buying a bunch of $10,000 guns. Buy 'em while you can afford them!!!

My first old double was the C G Bonehill 10 ga , I picked it up for about $600 theres a identical one to it thats been on GB for years priced at $2500 . I have found that usually you will find better deals on the for sale forum here compared to what you will see on the gun sites . I never thought I would end up with this particular Parker , it seemed like a long shot of ever owning such a sxs .
This will also be my first hammerless sxs .
I have two good friends thats in their 50s and 60s , I told them I never will probably spend this much again . They said 27 years old is too young to be saying you wont ever do something again
I plan on never selling this Parker because its not even about the money but that even if I could spend that on another one I couldnt find one like this .
