Figured, but the 20’s are the sweat spot.
Have seen 12’s go from $800 to perhaps $1200 with extra nice wood. If I wanted one, I would rather have fixed chokes. Often they come out of the European markets, and have another selling point, which is lighter barrels.
Proof marks may show that to be the case. If so, there are those who would pay extra.
This one came from J.C. penny of all places.
My dad bought 5, 4 12’s and a 20ga. Sold them off over the following years at a profit til the last one was free.
