For goodness sake! Take a brand new VHE and compare it to a brand new Purdey game gun. Is that a comparison of apples to apples? Heck no! Where is your head, man? 20x would be a low multiple of this comparison.

Really, if you want to enjoy ownership of a Purdey game gun you have to pay reasonably for it.

If all you want is a VHE, then you can have the VHE and pay for your mother's operation. You'll still have money for your Polident even then.
