Re: Question on Double Rifles

In reply to:
On the subject of engraving and say an action that has receiver and floor plate engraving and animal head on the floor plate...is there a rough dollar figure where the law of diminishing returns starts to show itself.
Of course, but the quality would determine that. A Rembrant will cost more than a DeGoode. As in most things, the original buyer may not recieve his investment back.
In reply to:
For example Weatherby (not Crown Custom) is about $2000US. Would that be real shit or would it be a case that it would take a keen eye to see much difference between it and $10,000US or whatever the upper dollar figures would be.
The difference between a $2000 engraving and a $10,000 engraving is substantial. The ability of the engraver if both coverages are equal or the amount of coverage if the engravers are equal.

At the risk of being banned from the site for what I am about to say Searcy to me is similar to Weatherby. By that I mean the Searcy and Custom Shop Wbys are very expensive compared to the average gun but are at the very low price end of the expensive stuff.
Perhaps
In reply to:
My guess is that a rifle (or car) that is about 2 to 2.5 times the price of the average sees 97% of people out. If look at the large forums like AR there are very few rifles owned that are dearer than the Wby Accumark or Rugers in 375 and 416. At the top end it appears that about $7000US to $15000US sees out any non English made gun.
There are many Euro guns over that figure. AR and the other large sights speak much louder for the average than the special.
