Must be, in certain sectors.. Anyone talked to or dealt with Kirby Hoyt recently.? I met him at the MI UP Father's Day weekend clays event in 1910-- very fine gent. He let me handle a 12 bore Churchill XXV- said I could shoot it on a clays open event to see how well it might fit me-- I passed, but it showed me what a fine gent he is- a few years later I bought a field grade 12 Smith from him- SST and EJ-- when I asked him what to add for shipping costs- he asked if I was a Veteran? "Yes"! He told me that he doesn't charge for shipping to Vets- I found that quite impressive-wonder if other dealers in the USA offer that?? RWTF
