Sixteen gauge shooters are used to paying double or triple for shotshells what 12 gauge shooters pay.
We accept it as part of the premium for shooting a superior gun.
How much more should we have to pay for the original gun ?
Have seen some vintage shotguns where the 16 gauge, when it can be found, is double or more what the same gun in 12 gauge would cost.
Guess that is OK.
When it gets to be triple or four times more for the 16 gauge gun, should we yell foul ?
Notice that 16 gauge shooters all have beautiful wives, intelligent well-behaved children, and obedient dogs.
