Window shopping not a crime :)

Those would be FANTASTIC when I'm lying in my toboggan on the salty mud flats of the Bay of Fundy. Especially when I step into a sink-hole and have to use the stock as leverage to get myself out without losing my waders! Lovely to look at, amusing to think about, but you really have to have more money than you know what do with to shoot something like that!

Well, i might consider a synthetic "working gun" for that task, but i would use one of these when i rolled up to a dry, sagebrush dotted prairie in my escalade, for a day of upland hunting, followed by an evening of high dollar booze and low-brow jokes. (no i dont have an escalade, but hey, since we a dreaming, lets just spend all the imaginary money we have!!!)
 
Both are a thing of beauty, I have always been partial to Holland and Holland over Purdey's not sure why......but that being said a matched pair of 16's would be heaven.
Someday hopefully I will be the proud owner of one.
 
Do they make them with synthetic stocks and camo finish?????

Seriously, they are awesome, but to me they are like a Rolls, other than admiring them, I have nothing to do with them...

Sounds like you've never held one in your hands and pointed it. It's like they have a mind of their own. Superb balance and natural pointing. Sure, I use my auto loader for waterfowl, but for upland you really are cheating yourself if you don't use a side by side.
 
Heartbreakingly beautiful, to be sure, but are they really worth it? Those price tags represent a whole heck of a lot of money that could be spent on more guns and ammo and shooting and hunting and beer and whiskey and good times, instead of tied up in a safe queen that you'd be afraid to take into the field.

If you could really afford them, you wouldn't talk like that.....

I can only wish.

Well, if I could afford them, that'd mean that I'd have got in all the shooting and drinking and hunting I possibly could squeeze into my schedule, and once I'd got that out of the way I might consider buying them :).

Ah, finally something I should aspire to rather than just making a big paycheck!
