I have an RBL on order - pretty much the basic gun but did opt for the beavertail forend. I ordered mine because as Rocketman stated: "The price is affordable for a significant number of people. Tony has Brand Value to his name. New guns are desirable to many for avoidance of repair issues; some people actually don't enjoy repairing 100 year old guns. The gun fits a desirable shooting niche. Made in USA. Has enough customizable features to "feel sorta bespoke." " While not a pauper and could spend more, I don't normally spend a lot of money on a shotgun and, to me, $2900 is a lot of money. I have a cabinet full of nice quality doubles (O/Us and SxS) that I have acquired "cheap", but the chance to own an American made, made to order, quality SxS was very enticing. So, I used the plastic and am now very interested in the RBL progress. I would especially like to see some pictures of RBLs with the base level wood as mine is ordered. For those that are tired of the RBL threads I offer a simple solution: Don't click on or open an RBL thread. That isn't so hard to do - I don't open every thread that appears on the forum as some subject lines just don't interest me. I, for one, look forward to new RBL delivery notices, RBL pics and "impressions". I don't, however, care for the "I am tired of RBL" threads and would not read them if they are labelled as such in the subject line. Bottom line for me, as Rocketman said: "It is fun to talk about, too."
