New here-Cuban ?'s

[Devil Doc]

I'll tell you a story, Will. I don't know how germane it is, but I like telling stories. When I decided I wanted to take up sporting clays, I bought a $2000 Beretta. I won a lot of tournaments with it and shot myself into AA. I then thought I could justify purchasing a Perazzi SC3, Considerably more money. Actually, a lot more money. I never again won a shoot, but a day on the course doesn't go by when someone asks to just hold the gun.

True. I've hit more claybirds with my Remington 870 express than my Silver Pidgeon. I don't look up or down at what people decide to spend their money on. Some stuff I can relate to, others not so much.

The real question here is in the secret dark vaults of manufacturing overhead & marketing voodoo, how much more does it take to make a Padron 80th than a 3000, or a Snappy ratcheting wrench than a Craftsman, or a Lexus over an Avalon, or a Perazzi over a Beretta.

I suspect as consumers, we'll never know.
