JC.
What gun is that, and what is the price (new)? I'm not familiar with it.

What the S&W guy (Paul Pluff) SAID was that these guns are trigger-plate action boxlocks, a design seen only on $30-40,000 guns. Sheesh, the art of listening is getting rarer all the time... , that isn't what he said at all. Sheesh... maybe it's only your "art of listening" that's fading.  The pertinent segment begins at about 14 min, 45 sec into the broadcast, and the "$30,000 to $40,000" claim is right at 16 minutes in... http://media.libsyn.com/media/guntalk/061126guntalkA.mp3

A Remington 1100 is a 'Trigger Plate Action'. It sells for less than $30,000. Yeah, about $29,250 less. Should be able to duplicate it in Turkey for about $37.50 then.

Tom, it is a Famars (Abbiatico & Salvinelli) Avantis in the price range mentioned by the S&W exec. Avantis JC(AL)

I found this double that meets a lot of the criteria mentioned above and retails for around USD1,650. Made in Italy by a reputed maker, Fausti. (They could improve on the recoil pad)  The S&W is going to find hard competition. JC(AL)

I hate to hear that, 'cause I really like the looks of that gun. Figures. I have always had champagne tastes on a beer budget.
Sometime I'll tell the story of the J..P. Sauer I bought and took it to JJ to bend the stock for my left-handed shooting. After three tries, he gave up.
Must be a through bolt we didn't know about.
It's a nice gun. I just can't get the stock set up for a lefty.
Maybe I should have a "guns I can't hit anything with" sale. <grin>

I spoke with Paul Pluff by phone Monday morning, and that was where I got the mention about what I posted. Sorry. JR

Tom, concerning tastes, my problem exactly! :-(

P.S. Several decades ago I had a subscription to Sports Afield and always went directly
to your fathers articles. He convinced me of the benefits of a nice 16ga double. JC

What are everyone's thoughts on the Fausti that JayCee mentioned? I have been considering the newer Weatherby D'Italia that Fausti makes for them, which is probably just a more upscale version of the one pictured.
