Shades of Downton Abbey, where one rings a little bell, and someone rushes to sit on the loo and warm it for you. If one is able to pay 50 servants so that one needs not pour one's drink or button one's shirt, one might think $78,000 "sensible" for a gun. Those of us who have to make economic choices find it more sensible to buy our round action guns from Chapuis for $5500 and spend the rest on fuel, cartridges, and trespass fees.
DMB guns are lovely. Had Grandfather taken his covered wagon to the part of Texas that has oil under it instead of the part that grows wheat, I might have some. I console myself with the thought that we are supposed to look at the bird, not the gun.
