Bruce:

Alas, I am unable to make the Yooper Shoot. I have to be in CO doing the Professor Glenn thing at the Trinidad summer gunsmithing school at that time.

I do figure on making it up to the Duluth Puglisi shoot in July...

$16K is still a pretty decent price to pay for a $50K gun.

I can only presume that sales of those Remington, CSMC, Parker guns are far from brisk in this economy... anyone know how many have sold since their introduction?

[Bruce Day]

We didn't really order one of the new Parkers, but it is interesting to consider. I would think the organization would need at least 60 firm commitments to buy tickets before purchasing. That's about .5% of the membership.

Dean, the last number I heard a year ago was 13. I can't recall the source and can't attest to its acuracy.

RGS raffled off a CSMC Parker two years ago, I bought a ticket but I can't remember what I paid... $100 I think. I believe they sold 1500 tickets. I have two tickets right now for the RGS 28 ga Mod 21 by CSMC. Drawing is next month but I have never been lucky in these things.

[Dean Romig]

I bought a ticket on that one too. They didn't sell as many tickets as they had hoped so they went to guns that cost the RGS a bit less so they can realize more revenue. I'll be buying a ticket for the 21 also. I've had some luck in gun raffles in the past....

[Richard Flanders]

The only raffle I have EVER won was the Hardstahl drivers at the PGCA raffle two? yrs ago.... a miracle I assure you that is highly unlikely to be repeated in the coming eon....

Dean - RGS is a great outfit and I hope they have great success with the 21. However, I would encourage you NOT to buy a ticket as you are unlikely to win - Dave
