Yes, was tempted to a far higher degree than I would like to admit. But the problem is that I can not use that gun for most of my hunting na dI do not need a trophy queen. Already have my wife. But if it had been a 20 I suspect it would have come home come He.. or high water. There is rare, rarer and who know if I would ever see another one again.
When I look at what more than a few Parkers are selling for the asking price on the Lefever does not seem that bad. Still $30-35,000 plus for any gun gives me reason to stop and think. I bought a F grade 1100 for 1/10-th amount and had a real hard time justifing any reason for the deal beyond it also is rare and the second one ever made in that grade and unfired in the original box. Passed on the first ever made one month later for less money.But a F grade 1100 is nothing next to one of these Lefevers. Not a patch.
