BamBam Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Being a enthusiast of tactical firearms & shooting..and luv for all/anything Benelli M4..thought I’d share a pretty eye-popping experience with this forum. Where I live in Virginia I attended an exclusive & private event for a soon to open state of the art indoor shooting & fitness facility. There was a rep. from Holland & Holland shotguns that brought approx. a dozen shotguns. Holland & Holland is based in London England and has been making shotguns since late 1800’s. The purchase prices of the shotguns the rep. brought to the event were $75,000 to over $190,000… holy shit Batman! Clearly world-class sporting side by side & over under sporting shotguns that are works of art & intricately built(each one takes 1+ year to build)..meticulously engraved steel, tolerances/lock ups were seamless to handle, removable polished steel trigger-groups(w/dozens of small parts & failure points!) and the balance-swing-feeling was something to behold..but..naahh..at the end of the day I’ll take my Benelli M4’s with personal mods all day/every day. Maybe if I was a billionaire?..hmm..I might have me sum Holland & Holland and also Cosmi shotguns and other collector firearm pieces on display to show friends at Christmas while sipping brandy and discussing our next fox hunt with beagles & horseback. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreetSweeper56 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Wish I'd have been there, I have some solid gold shells with platinum slugs that I've been looking for just the RIGHT gun to put them through... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCCPHD Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 If you want to see hundreds of $100K shotguns at one time, go the the Southern Side by Side Exposition at Deep River Sporting Clays outside of Sanford, NC. I would estimate that Connecticut Firearms had several million in guns at their display and they are probably 10% of the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
