Ive seen there are alot of WW Greener 8 bores coming up for sale . I seen this one and really like it and its on the heavier side at 14lbs https://auctions.morphyauctions.com/...LOT518439.aspx


Then theres this beast at 16lbs , I read Greener built a large frame 8 gauge so perhaps this is one . https://www.rockislandauction.com/de...ammer-duck-gun


Right now though im not planning on buying I have just investing money for the long term. Has anyone looked at that 8 gauge LC Smith on GB ?

Pretty sure there’s a WR 8 and its estimate is much less than 60k…if memory serves me (which it sometimes doesn’t anymore).

So my memory is only half bad. The 8 bore I saw was a double rifle (high end estimate $40K), and there's also a bar-in-wood hammer 8 estimated at around $6K. I did not look them over at all, but they are there, along with quite a few other 8s. It really seems that the 8s are coming out of the woodwork. You guys are fueling a renaissance in the gauge.

It'll be a true Renaissance if we could get a run of proper shells made which I have already got halfway solved .

Craig, the Tolley four sounds like something you should have bought. Tolleys are great guns. I was at the gun show last weekend but forgot about the tailgate and the Guyette auction. Oh, well.
