Is this a good deal? Beretta for $1,350

Post by Michael64 » 15 Feb 2017, 4:29 pm

I went to my gunsmith today and he had on sale a second hand Beretta 686 Silver Pidgeon S 30" 12 Gauge for $1,500. We kept talking about it and he lowered it to $1,350.

I inspected it, it looks to be in perfect order, there was fresh lubricant and everything looked cleanish. No rust or anything. There were a few bumps on the stock, nothing too major.

What do you think?

A bargain or did I get ripped off?

Thanks

If it's in the condition you say, I would think that's a pretty good price. Normally around $1800+ for a decent second hand one

Yeah that's a bargain I would say - they go for around $2400 new so you are saving over $1k on the new price.

I assume the action is shnishe and tight?
