I've got exactly that model, guage, bbl. length, and (originally) choke. Opened chokes to IC and Cyl. for quail hunting with steel 7s (unleaded shot now required in all CA hunting #@%^&&!). My go-to upland gun back in the canyons and boulders where I don't want to take my Savage 333 or my Gold Label. Good patterns with small steel shot and small birds (quail and those &*#@^^ chukars!).

I paid just that same price because the seller couldn't read and thought it was a recent "Stevens" made in Turkey. Best four bills you'll ever spend.

If you ever have a Valmet rechoked, be sure to mention to the 'smith that Finnish shotgun barrels are tougher than woodpecker lips....I had a 'smith get very heated with me because my old 330 12 guage (my son's now) ate one of his plain steel reamers!
