As far as the lower grades are concerned, Remingtons were priced in about the same range as Parkers.

Remington discontinued all their double guns in 1910, and their catalogue that year listed the Model 1900 (the lowest priced gun) starting at $30 and the better grade 1894 starting at $45. However, it was sometimes possible to find the Remingtons at a discount - for example, the 1908 Sears catalogue offered the Model 1900 for $23.50.

Compare this with the initial price for a Parker Trojan of $25.50 in 1912 and the VH for $34.50 that same year. I've heard it said that Parker was losing money selling Trojans for $25.50 and they soon had to increase the price.

The Remingtons were good guns, and I own several Model 1894s and 1900s, but I don't think the workmanship measures up to Parker standards.
