Jaegermeister, while I agree the market for low end Field grade side by sides is soft, that fact represents bargains available to new shooters. Not a reason to stay away. Quality guns can be purchased for good prices.

Not sure why why you are unable to recommend a decent SXS, how often do you use either a SXS versus a Berreta O/U?

In line with Marks 21, I do not think the world is changing that much in that SXS have been a minority fringe market for a long time. But that is true for many quality luxury goods.

High end guns will hold their value. Low and mid range guns will continue to be good guns for the money.
