The real value in a well-made used gun is a British boxlock. Not a knock on Remington doubles, but the British versions are better made, better balanced, and usually better finished.
Find me a British made double, that can handle off the shelf factory ammo, for 200 dollars. I have a few British doubles and enjoy them for their lightweight when shooting light loads but not as field guns. For ducks and geese I find the Remington 1894 and 1900 to be very comfortable to shoot and capable of taking game at ranges beyond my showing ability. My go to pheasant guns are Fox AE or Sterlingworths if raining.
Where I live most British doubles under $1000-1200 are worn out guns on their last legs. You can find sterlingworths for 500, nids for 400-450, Remington 1894 and 1900 for 300 - 500, 500 for ejector guns all which can handle factory shells not costing 11.00 a box.
It's just apples to oranges trying to find a high condition British double for what you can find American doubles. Even BSA s, which I am not a fan of, will cost more than a fox or Remington and nobody will claim they are a better value.
