Bill,
The ad I remember in SN was brought to my attention by Art Wheaton in about 1990, when he came in to the corporate offices in Wilmington, DE. I had arrived there in 1988 after working for Art in sales in Ohio from 1985-1987. Tim McCormack, the Remington Custom Shop manager was good friends with Rich Wingle, too, and we got Wingle's phone number from him.
I had my eye on a VHE Skeet 20 in the ad. There must have been 50 guns in the ad! We called on it from Art's office but it was already sold. There was also a 12 ga,26", SST, PG, Checkered butt Skeet gun in the ad which I purchased. Probably between $1500-2000 in those days. I hunted Grouse with that gun a few years, killing a few poplar trees by sawing them in half with that "chopper", as we dubbed it, and several grouse. I since sold it to another Remington man who still has it.
That 12 gauge, even with 26" barrels got to be a load in the woods after a few hours! Now I like the 20's much better!
