What's a Valmet model 412S 3" 12 ga. over a .243 in 90% worth? Saw one on a gun site, for $2000, and mine is in better condition. Just curious, seems high to me. has a vintage weaver 3-9. Scope has the plactic AO nice scope, chincy objective, duplex reticle. Rifle shoots sub moa with factory ammo. Thanks

I've owned dozens of them over time and was buying, selling, and trading them as a hobby. I killed a cape buffalo with a 12ga/9,3X74R combo and several deer with others.
I still have a 412S 12/30-06 with two scope mounts and a set of 12ga-3" choke tube barrels.
A 412 (not lesser 412S) 12ga/243 with original Valmet scope mount is worth about what the parts are worth if sold separately.
Receiver and butt stock...$350.00
Combo Barrel set..........$650-$700.00
OEM scope mount...........$200.00
Scope.......................$65.00
Add it up. This is TOPS for the gun.

I agree with luv
even though a few people think the 243 is a more desirable caliber it just doesn't justify the 2K price

One in 30-06, 308, or 9,3X74R will sell much faster. This is a HEAVY gun for a 243!!!

I see them sit a long time on GunsInternational like that one and for $1,200-$1,300. I wish I had tucked away my 20 or so barrel sets. They went up faster than gold!

Just missed a 12/222Rem for $600 over at the PM site.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

I have one with 2 double rifle barrels and a combo and shotgun barrel-scope mounts,etc. I paid $1800 several years ago. Thought I got a decent deal. It is heavy and clubby but it shoots very well in 30-06 and 9.3x74. Each barrel is MOA about 11/2" apart maybe 2". It is a tool and will do the job. It ain't pretty but it is deadly.
The Finns never made any junk. It may not be what you like but it will shoot.

I particularly like them in 9,3X74R. They're quite a bit lighter, actually, with the thinner-walled barrels the bigger bore creates.
