I think you guys are being a little harsh. From what I can see, a group of entrepreneur sxs enthusiasts already in the shooting business, have put together a pretty good business model. You can build your gun on line, lots of options, then pay a 50% deposit and it arrives in 3-4 months. Not bad at all. The maker, RFM, has been in business for over 60 years and seems to make a quality product. It also appears the son is married to one of the Fausti sisters. This has caused quite a stir on the 16ga forum. I plan to order one in 16 gauge. I was chatting with the gentleman in MN online who offered to have me come by and shoot one. It’s a bit far from Alabama but I appreciated the offer. For the options I selected for my ideal bird gun, it came to $3500. Not bad at all for a new Italian sxs built to my specifications. This is exactly the type business we should be encouraging to keep the sxs community growing. I hope they succeed.
