Think about it, Guys are dumping 5-6K (or more) into upgrading Sterly's. Supply and Demand at it's finest.
Yep. I asked Gournet what the engraving cost was to upgrade a Sterly to a C grade and it was over 3K and that was a while ago. That doesn't include sculpting the breech balls, safety reshaping, remarking barrels, etc etc. Nor upgrading the wood. You can burn through 6K in a hurry.
3k for Fox CE engraving? That's gotta be a joke, right? Not knocking anyone's CE, but that seems ridiculous for that level and type of engraving. It's been awhile since I chatted or have done business with Geoffroy, but I'd like to ask him what it would cost to replicate the engraving on my Lancasters, or my Churchill BLE....both guns having far superior engraving than any production Fox. I'd seriously be curious to know what he'd say. I'll even throw in my Scott Excellentia for good measure. Yikes.....what, that would probably cost 8k??
