Doesn't surprise me since fewer hunters are in the field, preferring the clay games where heavier guns are usually seen. Most of my Brit guns are just mid level boxlocks and I haven't seen those prices increase any in the past decade. (However, quality American guns continue to climb with collector demand.) Oh well, Brit shotguns are still the finest upland guns in the world. Never intended them to yield a return on investment anyhow.
