Default Connecticut Shotgun

Went to Connecticut Shotgun today for the first time. Held a $49000 Holland and Holland!!!!. Very impressed. Tons of great guns to look at and shoulder and many options if your want to order your dream gun with your own wood and dimensions. Some nice Parkers to include a 28 ga VH. Very nice folks.

4900.00 is pretty cheap for a h&h. You should probable buy that one.

I think you may have missed a zero?....Hi Steve, I got to go to CSMC back in March of 2015. I placed a order for a A.H. Fox XE-special 16. This was a made to order just for me! Lou treated me like a old friend. I now look back at that experience and smile! I hunted that gun this past season in Kansas for wild roosters and Quail. Its all GOOD!!! Many folks I have talked with can't understand why anyone would pay so much for a shotgun and then take it hunting! Well.....How many of them drive new suv-s and pick-ups that cost as much or more....down the old two track. After three years or so how much did that cost you? My Fox is a good investment....they have a good track record for resale value. I bought a used CSMC Fox DE-special a year ago....I paid way less than a new one just like it would cost today, but 5000.00 more than the gun cost back in 1997 when it was made. Few things in life we buy are that good! Is your new Gun a Christian hunter or RBL? Thought the RBL-S were over? I own a RBL-28, its a fine gun. Will your gun be hand engraved to your specs? I am sure you will be happy with it, they make top shelf guns! SXS Ohio....(-:

Yeh, I did miss a 0!!!!!!!!!! Ken if I decide to do it I will order an RBL Light in 12 gauge. I have the sub gauges pretty well covered. They had racks full of RBL's and did not indicate that they were stopping production. They had one Light in stock with 30" barrels, but the LOP is a little long for me. It weighs 7Lb 2oz and was very lively in your hands. I would go with the regular engraving and case coloring. The regular weight RBL's were a bit on the heavy side for my liking. The wood room is amazing. If you could not find a blank to your liking I don't think it exists

That place is the 8th wonder of the world. Held a H&H .410 there. $185,000. I could spend a week there.
