Towards the end of last year a guy at work got me into skeet shooting. I'm looking at a Browning Citori mostly b/c I used his old one last year and he used his Perazzi.

I was in a local gun shop today and noticed his Perazzi is like $17000. Is there a reason for this? Is it that much better of a gun than a Citori? I'd obviously never pay that for a shotgun.. just wondering what justifies that price?

gun that misfires is a poor investment, a working weapon has value

One that expensive is gonna be handmade with better materials. I have a krieghoff that I bought on a whim a few years ago and I hardly ever shoot it. They go for about 10-30k (I didn't pay that bought used at estate sale)

I always thought guns like that were for showing off. I bought one a few years ago in an estate sale for 3k and I love it. It is a Perazzi MS-80. I got a hell of a deal and honestly I am not sure if anyone there knew what they were bidding on. I have a Citori and it shoots good but I am probably the only guy that likes shooting skeet with remington 1100s.
