Wow sorry I am late to this one. Sorry this was typed on my iPad so there are probably a lot of typos
I have more than two cents on this issue
I too have a launch edition rbl. A very early pg single trigger high end Claro gun serial number 1xx. It is a beautiful gun. It has been shot more than a little at clays and hunted. Mine is actually one of the nicest I have seen. My only complaint is Tony's poor communication when the launch edition put him so far behind
I had an ejector break this last year. If you remember they only had a year warranty. There was no question when I sent it back. It was repaired and shipped back quickly and all for free. His service department is great.
I do kick myself for not buying a an A10 with the early, RBL customer discount. But it would have been in a target configuration not as a game gun.
My biggest complaint about Galazan's is probably there high price attitude. I make a good living, can afford many nice things,but feel I am not even in the same Country when I talk with them at Las Vegas or SCI. And maybe the ultra rich is their market, but.....

I do think he desires credit for what he has done. As an engineer I admire his ability to put modern machinery to such a good use. As a businessman I congratulate him for his market savvy and success.

Re double gun market
As a member and once the vp of the CA Side x Side society I can tell you our numbers are shrinking. There are very few new younger members. At 62 I am one of the youngest. Not a good sign
My son and his age group while they are interested in guns, some in clay target shooting, some in handguns, some in black guns, none, I repeat none are interested in sxs.
One of my good shooting buddies is a bigger collector than I am. I am mostly $1000 to $3000 guns, he starts where I leave off. He keeps telling me about all of these great buys he is getting. A lot are from Cabelas. I keep saying if those prices are what he is paying, then that is the value (price). if he thinks he is buying them for 50 to 75 cents on the dollar, then some family or widow is selling them to Cabelas for 25 to 37.5 cents on the dollar. The point is, the sxs market is soft because the collectors are aging and dying off and they collections are getting dumped
Re: Black guns
I have a FFL and state of CA lic, mostly for helping non-profits raffle off guns,. Because of this I am a bit in tune to what is available on the wholesale market. A few years ago black guns and parts where hard to come buy. Now the market is flooded and prices are dropping. The big boys like Ruger, Remington and Now even Savage are getting into the market buy introducing guns or buying companies that are successful in that market. From my observations....
I think this market is thinning out a bit, but will remain steady for a while. Silencers are the latest thing but not new, just to America. I was asked to use a loaner gun for one of the animals on my last African Safari so not to disturb the game one the ranch! And the gun laws in South Africa are much worse than America. I own only one AR just because, it is fun to play with
Re over unders
Really this is the only strong portion of the double gun market. The truth is there are very few shooters who will not improve their scores with one vs a dbl barrel. (I know that is blasphemy!). The same can be said for a good target auto when playing the sporting clay game.
While there will always be a market for the high end o/u go to a big sporting clay shoot. You will likely see someone with a Perrazi or other high end gun looking for a spring or changing to his other trigger while the majority of shooters will be plugging along shooting their production berettas or Brownings.
Don't get me wrong.... I love my sxs guns. When I go to SDakota to hunt I take a 90 year old and a 100 year old LCSmith with me. I (am the only one) at my duck club with my LC Smith wildfowl or 10 ga LC., though many days I have my plastic Benelli. I shoot clays probably 20 days a year mostly with sxs guns....but I do believe we are a dying lot. I love my sxs, I didn't buy them as an investment, but to enjoy. I'll let my kid worry about what they sell for when I am shooting targets and hunting game up in the sky. Hopefully with the good grace of God, that won't be for a while
