Default VH 28

This gun appears to have lots going for it, but it sure seems to be agressively priced? Thoughts

Thanks

Fred

I have a hard time believing the "all original" claim when I view the CC and checkering. But, it is a nice gun that I wouldn't mind owning it.

It does not look original to me. Screws are not timed. Colors look flakey, like some repro tend to exhibit. That said, its a nice little gun.

Looks to me to be old Turnbull colors...Only about $15,000 to much....

A VH for $22K I don't know what those boys are smoking up in Maine but they should be selling that.

Cabelas markup is targeted at 30%. IF they paid $15K for that gun I have one I'll sell them

SHAZAAM!!!! I think it's time to sell my VHE 00-frame 28 ga.

I'll stop by Cabela's on Friday night on my way to the lake and take a look at it.

Somebody remind me Monday morning to report back with my findings. (I know I'll forget - I left a jug of Jack Daniel's about half-full when I departed Sunday night and I plan to finish it Saturday night if it kills me.) There are a couple of 30" twenty ga. Parkers in their racks that, judging by the tag prices, they're pretty proud of.

Charlie, buy yourself a 28 gauge Parker Repro and be Happy.
They shoot just as good as the originals.

Charlie, Dave is right about the Repos. They are good guns and at a much more attractive price. If you want a little nicer repo look at www.greensguns. Chuck takes them a step farther as he recuts the engraveing by hand, reshapes the stock, and puts a much nicer case color to them.

Maine has some Mountains, like Lobster and sea-ducks?

Default Maine has some Mountains, like Lobster and sea-ducks?

So perhaps the gun library schleppers at the Maine Cabela's are 'doin' some doobie" whilst a pricin' non-original Paaaarkaaas- Sort of a "Colorado Rocky Mt. High (priced) moves Eastward--

I've been twice to the Mi Dundee Cabela's Gun Library, and I was "under-whelmed" to say the least- none of their used and way overpriced shotguns have a gunsmith safety check- I found a 12 3E Smith- the safety slide was dis-engaged, so NO safety- when I mentioned this to the sales dude, I might as well have been speaking Urdu--

$22K in my pocket free and clear- spend as I wish, but on guns and ammo to shoot (clays or game birds with) not to hoard in a Gun Safe for "investment"- I'd rather buy a clean Remington VHE 12 Parker and a ton of RST No. 8's, have enough left for a three day bird hunt at one of the fancy ND or SD Lodges too- 28 gauge- like a .410 on steriods maybe???
