Just reading from my grandfathers gun list that he mailed out on Oct 28, 1929. Has a 8 guage double for $35, 36" barrels and "is a dandy for long range fox and wolf". Guess that resolves the question on what to use big bore shotguns for after the waterfowl issue ;-). Was an earlier question on his pricing of a 8 guage Parker in 1937 at $250, as I see it, if he had something that was dear to his heart his price reflected that and both Parkers and big bores were dear to his heart.
