don't get me wrong Jerry
the Spanish have made -and currently make - some great guns but there were a few makers back then who still needed to learn about metallurgy

I dont have anything against the Spanish 10 gauges there just doesnt seem to be alot of solid information about the different brands mostly opinions . The 711 Richland is the one I see come up most often . |

If you pay 1700.00 for that gun you will pay 1100.00 to much.

I had a budget of 6000$ but I spent 3500 on my rifle and the rest on other hobbies . So im not in the market for awhile , Maybe something interesting will show up later this year . I think this year I will streamline my focus on what I want as my first Parker. |

To answer a couple of questions. Richland was made by Zabala. A couple of years ago I was going to sell mine for $700 because it has walnut wood and is more embellished, but decided to keep it. If you see one at a gun show, offer $500 and if you get it for $600 you have a solid gun. It is as I said a novelty, as most gun shops want to be rid of them. Very little demand now since the 3.5" 12 gauge, and especially only two shots when you can have five for turkey and deer with an auto or pump.

I would like to hear more about the ten to eight H&R conversion. I have a minty H&R ten that opens up by itself whenever a 3 1/2" ten is fired in it. I don't think it is a good platform for eights. Where can I read about this conversion? My Davenport eight is one fine gun, better than the H&R, and it will get more use when I reactivate my eight gauge loading equipment after my recent move.
