Who hurt you

It seems like you may have overplayed your hand. I would have asked for an elk rack for the back of your truck.

I was going to ask for a clicker to keep track of all the critters I would shoot with it. But I knew that was likely a deal breaker, so didn't press my luck

Carve tally marks into the stock?

clickers don't click as high to keep track the numbers of critters that have already been killed by this fine firearm.

And ruin the fine finish?

How much for the couch? I have some stuff to sell myself...

And ruin the fine finish?

Could lead to a really nice checkering pattern

I used to carry this shotgun in the toolbox of my truck, along with a box of #6, for years. One cool summer morning in 2005, after sleeping in the bed of my truck at a trailhead in NW Wyoming, I stuffed my frosted sleeping bag into the toolbox and took off for a summer day of glassing for mule deer in a wilderness area. Upon my return, I was surprised to find a nice orange tint had been added my Topper. It's a fine addition of character and uniqueness, and should only add to the value of this versatile scattergun.

if shotguns could tell a story, my Topper would compare to this couch's significant history...

All kidding aside that’s a sweet shotgun.

These are the finest break-action shotguns manufactured. They are better designed and built than either the Browning Citori or Winchester model 37 It has original brass bead and is nearly mint...$2799.00.

It is rare, indeed. One of a kind, haven't seen too many like it over the years. Price seems very reasonable, too. Can't believe it has lasted this long, you better jump on this deal!

'Bout the only way he'd get one, can't seem to get one on his own!

What a beauty William Christy! I've heard tales that this fine specimen of a boom stick has accounted for more dead critters than any break action on the planet. If this is true pray tell, throw in some fine German glass (non of that cheap Conquest shiz) to sweeten the offer and only a fool would pass up a deal so incredible as this. It's the perfect slug gun for the elusive Manhattan elk herd.
