Is a $20k gun really THAT much better than a $3k gun?

Is a $100,000 gun better than a $20,000 gun?! $3,000 will get you good craftsmanship, albeit a plain Jane, but the scroll work won't increase your break percentage.

My 90T, built by Kolar, is my high dollar gun... I've owned for 17 years no malfunctions... the gun is now 27 years old...

Affordability is relative to your station in life

I'm going to need Extra Butter for this one😁😎

I don't know about other ppl, but for me, I feel more comfortable and swing with better balance shooting MX8 than CG Summit or Rizzini.

SImple,

Do you want to drive a Ford Fiesta or a Ford GT? A Chevy Vega or a Cadillac? ETC, ETC. All will get you where you are going. It all depends on what floats your boat! 😆

Might as well make it the high priced spread.

Think prestige, the envy of other shooters and lots of chicks.

the reason i did the high $ gun was because "they last longer"!
when i was shooting over 10,000 targets a year(which was a lot for me), i wanted my Kolar to last for the duration etc

So what exactly are you paying for with a Koler, Perazzi, or Krieghoff? I certainly love to window shop but I'd be scared to death to take it out of the case if I spent that much on a shotgun.

Thanks

It is to me. Can’t answer or speak for anyone else.

It won't shoot THAT much better but will feel THAT much better.

But a custom stock will likely make you actually shoot better.

Only negative thing about a 20,000 dollar gun is it being sold for 500 dollars by your survivors after you die, but then you won’t care.

Typically higher dollar guns are built by craftsmen, hand fitting, better fit and finish, barrel regulation, etc.

$500.00? No way!

Mrs. Barker and I already have a deal in place for $350.00 for your guns.

She wanted $1500.00 for your high heel shoe collection but I passed. Haversham, however, has an interest.

Yes,a $15-20000 gun is better built, more hand fitting, etc than a $3000 gun.
Will it break more targets for you (if the stocks fit)- NO!!!
A lot of us shoot very expensive guns because we appreciate the artistry of hand engraving and beautiful wood.
Some of us worked our asses off for a long time and now that we are retired and aging, we choose to enjoy what we put aside while we still can....
Some get enjoyment looking at big bank/stock statements and some of us like to go out and shoot "D Class" scores with a work of art!!!

You do know don’t you, I don’t have any skeet guns.

It's OK to shoot what you can afford. No one cares besides you.

Silly question. The answer is obvious. Next we'll surely have someone post asking if it is nicer to live in a tiny house or kick back in the living quarters of your $2 billion estate.
