It depends on the buyer. Today, there is a demand for sxs guns for Sporting Clays and the side events for these at registered shoots. The key factor is barrel length. If they are 30" or 32", these guns will sell at a good price.

The problem is that many British guns made for the American market with single triggers, pistol grips, and big beavertail forends were built in the '60's with 26" and sometimes the odd 28" barrels, but hardly ever 30's or 32's. Those short barreled guns are real dogs to try and sell for what the equivalent traditional game gun would bring.

But I would just love me a Purdey with a nice capped pg, st, and semi-bt with 32" barrels set up for clays, at a 50% discount!
