Just want an opinion on this shotgun. I stumbled one for for sale. The owner is asking $399. It is the 28", black synthetic stock, 3" chamber version. No real problems with it that I can see. I have heard a lot of good comments and reviews on this model. I know it is considered an "entry" or " economy" semi-auto to many. It's not that I need another shotgun but it just seemed like a good deal to me? Thank you in advance for any education you can provide it is appreciated.

We have two in 20ga, and they're excellent guns. Both are the walnut-stocked "Upland" models. I did find they need about two boxes of heavy loads through a brand new one to break it in; they're fussy about low power loads until you do that, even with the low power load orifice installed.
$399.00 for a synthetic is about a new gun price if you do some shopping.

I've handled the Weatherby a couple of times. I found it fit me well. I also like the v-shaped groove in the receiver to help line up the shot. I too read the reviews when I was helping my buddy buy his first shotgun. He picked the Stoeger m3000 over the Weatherby. All told, they look like a decent shotgun for the price.

I appreciate the input. I have been shopping around and most I find in good, used condition are in the 475-550 range.

I see the synthetics are now around $475.00 new. It makes a good used gun worth about $375.00-$395.00, IMO.
