Gun and gear reviews TIL why some shotguns cost $22,000
https://youtu.be/Mp4jIPS9J9k?si=ljbNpBgNVSdqezvcDamn. I never wanted a $22k shotgun before. But after seeing this video, I can see the appeal.

If I had fuckyou money, I would. But within my tax bracket, $22 000 is around half my damn salary lmao

Yeah, such gun luxuries are NOT a life necessity for us with pleb salaries.
At the same time, if wifey and I ever win Lotto 649, we would absolutely add a gun-shopping trip to Italy to our bucket list, hehe

Wow... that is a pretty posh shooting setup.
Purdey-Mulliner custom to bag the birds, and then a Bentayga to haul the birds home

There’s a dealer in my town who has a $42,000 Perazzi shotgun listed on gunpost. It’s been on there for years. One day some fancypants will stroll into my redneck town will buy it.

Is this in Brandon, Manitoba? I see a $42k Perazzi gunpost ad for such!
(and of course: no hyperlinking of guns allowed here)

If I was rich you best believe I would own bespoke high end shotguns. Right now I collect old Baikals, and as far as I’m concerned a “Made in USSR” Baikal is one of the best shotguns you can buy for $250-400. I love my IJ-58M like a son.

I bought an ij-18 in 20g for 100$ and it’s the best investment I have ever made in my life

People think that they’re the equivalent of “made in china” of yesteryear, but they truly are absolute peak. I collect the double barrels, right now I have an IJ-58M and an IJ-26E. I plan on buying each model possible eventually. My autism is exceptionally niche.

This is not actually a Luxury shotgun. Because the base is still a sporting gun , DT11. A real luxury shotgun is something made by Gallyon or Boss.

Explain to me like im poor (because i am)....
What makes a luxury shotgun, luxury?

u/Altruistic-West-802 May 07 '26
I guess demand and supply? There are rich people in the world and there are rich people who love shooting/hunting.

More attention to detail in the engravings, less built around strong reliability and more around being pretty while still reliable.
A luxury gun you don't shoot every weekend with. A sporting gun like that dt11 Jonny got in the video you can easily shoot 250k through before it needs service.
And in the world of competitive Clay shooting a 13-25k gun is pretty normal. Hell a reliable entry level B gun is around $4000

Imagine dropping that thing by accident the first time you take it to the range
