I will definitely will have to get the book. I know there is a big difference between a 10 bore and a 12 bore. I am actually looking for a 10 bore because I want an "elephant gun." I was originally looking for an 8 bore, but it would take me way to long to save up 25k+. I have seen 10 bore double rifles that had sold at auction for under 15k, and wasn't sure about paradox guns, so that is why I asked what the normal price ranges were. Didn't know if they were cheaper then an actual bore rifle or not, sounds like they aren't. Thanks very much for the info, and the book reference.
