I lusted mightily after Lot 10, the 30" DHE 28 ga. with RAILBIRDS!!! engraved all over, but I was a little short (by c. $35K) and the Kelly Blue Book on my RAV 4 Toyota would have still put me shy of the balance. To soothe my angst, I went back and handled it while no one was around during the preview. Wes Dillon, my auctioneering buddy of 35 years or so, walked in on me just as I shouldered it for the 17th time and said it looked great on me!
