Having shot driven once, but with just one gun and no loader, I can't quite imagine a pair of Darnes either. But I have shot flurry events with my Brit pair, and that works pretty darned well--with a good loader.

I'm with you on the price thing. That's why I was wondering about the price on those. Looks out of line if you check the Blue Book (but then the Blue Book is pretty low on a lot of doubles), but not if you compare to new Darne prices.

I can recall seeing several Darnes in the neighborhood of 3,000 FF when I was there in the 80's, and that's when the rate was about 8 FF to the dollar. Things have changed.
