Good Morning All!
I am in need of some "dutch uncle" advice and direction.
I've been fortunate to collect and shoot some very lovely guns over the last several years. ( 2 Grant Sidelevers, Charles Boswell Sidlock, Purdey Pigeon 2 barrel set etc. Boswel and Grants are 2 1/2" chambers, Purdey is 2/3/4".)
Purdey is used for weekly sporting clays and others are used monthly on the skeet range. All see occassional dove and preserve pheasant hunts Sept.- March.
I use RST shells for most purposes and enjoy shooting S x S's and the history of each.
Question: Am I throwing good money after bad buying 2 1/2" chambered guns ?
I rarely sell guns and suppose the problem of value would fall to my wife on my passing. ( hopefully many years from now ).
Many of the fine guns I look at are chambered in 2 1/2 ".
( There is a gorgeous Westley on Fox Hill's site now ! )
I have no expertise, but enjoy owning fine guns made by skilled artisans.
Thoughts ?
