Why are shotguns so expensive?

I've seen some firearms up around $800,000 from memory, fooked if I can see the value in it but I guess if you have that sort of $$ to spend then $$ aren't a major concern to you and you obviously want to own something unique and rare I guess.

$2600 is peanuts for a good shotgun.
But I'm not sure why you are talikng down expensive shotguns jus cos most of us could never afford one? I rekon it's cool that some companies like Purdey or Holland & Holland exist to make the really high end stuff. Those things are works of art and the build is perfect. If I had the dough I'd definitely invest in one, just like I'd invest in the work of a famous artist if I had the dough, or a ferrari F40 if I was rich and into cars. Stuff like that only goes up in value.

That's it ... I'll just settle for the $600 stoger , a flanno shirt and the mutt in the back of the ute..

I'll bet your the sorta bloke that likes Gucci Handbags and Sunnies etc, over priced, over ranted and over here, but you are welcome to use em if it turns ya on. Me I wouldn't waste a heap of money even if I had it on the "Upmarket" stuff, it just doesn't do anything at all for me, I've got simple tastes and I'm more than fine with that.
nah. I'm the bloke that drives an old patrol wagon and shoots the 60 year old beretta he inherited from his old man. Also the bloke that doesn't hang s**t on people just because they have different ideas.
