Title: Just ordered a SXS
Post by: addicted on March 30, 2012, 11:52:52 PM: Ordered her into the store so i can look at her this week, but if she locks up nice and points the right direction......she might come home with me to be my little rabbit killer.

There are a bunch of Saurer, Merkels, Simpsons, Husqvarnas and a slew of Spanish and Belgium doubles on the market here in the states now. I picked up a nice Darne(French) and a Husky 51 hammer gun. They are my new upland and waterfowl guns now.

The side lock pin is almost recessed a mm showing great wear and the pin for the right tube was busted off. It would have been a cool project gun but I want 75% gun 25% projoect, not the other way around.

Post by: AWS on April 15, 2012, 11:53:13 AM: What is the conversion on the Euro right now. I tried to look and it seems that it was about $200 US for that shotgun you were looking at. Is that right?

Post by: addicted on April 15, 2012, 12:08:28 PM: That is pretty close except for I get it for about 17% less because I dont have to pay german tax.

.74 exchange rate right now I think.

150(euro) X .81(tax) = 121.50(euro)

121.50 / .74(x rate) = $164.18

I know.... I should have bought it right? :bash: honestly the hardest part is getting it approved by the wife and the mechanics were pretty worn out. I should be able to find on for a similar price in much better shape to pass on to the grand kids.
