Jagermeister & Rocketman, you're emphasizing my point. In my circle of friends who are into double, they won't even look at a Remington, yet they'll look at a plane jane Fox Sterlingworth, Ithaca Flues or Greener. When you remove the fine engraving and take the guns back to simple finishes, I don't see how the Remington's take a back seat to anyone in the way of quality. I have a Westley Richards A&D boxlock and when comparing it to the Remington 1894, there isn't a tremendous amount of different. Sure the WR is a bit nicer, but it would probably sell in the 2-3K range, where as the Remington would fetch 1k at best.
I see the Remingtons as a real buy in todays double gun market. I would really like to add a nice Damascus 1894 to my collection and then re-stock it to dimensions more appropriate to memebers of the human race.
