Higher-priced guns cause trepidation to many buyers. But when a shooter combines good information about a gun plus market-driven pricing, he can be assured to get a quality gun at the best price.
Case in point: According to the January 2008 issue of Gun Tests, the Smith & Wesson Elite Gold Grade I Side-by-Side 20 Gauge, $2380, was a B+ gun, and a better pick than a comparable L.C. Smith. Online pricing for the gun found on Gunbroker.com had no bids for one gun in a no-reserve auction # 106244497, but it has a “Buy Now” price of $1399.
Several other Auctions, such as # 106913508, due to expire 8/15 @ 4:56 p.m., put the gun’s price at just about $1,800.
Still too much? Maybe not. Gun Tests said of the S&W Elite Gold, ” Attractive, smooth handling and a pleasure to shoot, this is a fine vehicle to take a shooter back to the glory days of wingshooting.”
