Tulsa 8 ga

[Bill Murphy]

The recent Julia GH grade was a bit of a bargain. Around nine grand.

What was the barrel length on that gun? Gary

Please don't hang me or shoot me but I have to ask the following ?:

Where will the prices be at for 8 bores in the future. 10, 20, 30 years out.
Will the up coming generations show interest? How do we see it playing out.
I have a hard time seeing a 8 bore selling for these kind of number (the ones at the current market price) 15 to 20 years from now.

What are your thoughts?

[Dean Romig]

The younger folks interested in firearms seem to be more interested in 'firepower' and so, I think a BIG bore gun would be more interesting to them than a twenty or a sixteen.

That'd be me, except I've been buying in the small bore department lately

I passed around my DH 8 at the AH Fox BoWoop practice last year. Where the best of the 12 and 10 gauge shooters best scores was 8 of 10 targets, nearly all of those who shouldered my 8 broke 7 or 8 birds. Some of those targets were what seemed to be 80 yards away.

There is still magic in those .840" bores!

Due to their scarcity alone I would be surprised if their value/cost does not continue to rise over time.

i think that in the years to come that the 8 ga swith good condition will at least hold their value at present andprobably gain value thru the years ahead...if your like me i would buy them all if i could afford them... the big 8 s been a passion of mine since i was a boy and it has never diminished...charlie

I also believe that 36" barrels are the break-point for an 8..... an 8 with shorter barrels will be worth notably less. An 8 with 38" or 40" barrels will be worth more. But most buyers want to see at least 36" barrels.
