Oh, as to prices...cape guns sell for a bit less than comperable drillings, but not a whole lot less. The market for a cape gun is much smaller than for a drilling, and the drilling market ain't all that BIG!

As to being a poor man's drilling, they are not. Good cape guns are hard to find...harder than good drillings. This keeps the relative price of cape guns close to drilling prices.

As to shooting cape guns, they handle much like a good sxs shotgun, but are on average a bit heavier due to the weight of the rifle barrel. This is my observation from owning only three, past and present, however. The real trick to shooting a cape gun is remembering instantly which trigger to pull. It is embassasing to dead center a grouse with an 8x57 or put a load of 6 shot up a fleeing bucks ass...
