Phrase A) "Man! I'm sure glad I didn't overpay for that gun."
Phrase B) "Man! I should have just went ahead and bought that gun!"
I have never uttered one of those phrases... The other I have uttered multiple times. Take a guess as to which is which.
It's a safe bet that at some point you'll realize that even though you paid more for that gun than you should have... you'll think that the price was a bargain anyway.
Mike It really wasn't THAT expensive. The sold price was $550... with taxes and shipping about a hundred more. No idea if that's a good or bad deal but know it was less that they've been selling for. Still a lot for me though.

Mike unless it stinks it up that bad and you can't even sell it for close to what you have into it because everyone else knows it also. the R51 comes to mind.

looking at prices you did well that seems to be about the going price if you look at your muzzle does it have a choke tube in it now ?

Had one once, couldn't get rid of it quick enough! 20 ga was fine the .22 shot a foot LOW at 10 yds, and was not adjustable. It's a common issue with these. Hopefully she gets a good one.

I was trapping in WY with a buddy that had one in 223 over 12 gauge. Had a 3 inch load of buckshot in the shotgun. went to shoot a coyote at about 200 yards. leaned into the scope with those see thru rings he had installed. shot the 12 gauge rather than the rifle. bloodied his eyebrow. I thought it was hilarious. He whined like a fresh spanked puppy.

So aren't long haired bearded faded 1970s tattooed...... hippies. But "far out dude", you do you. I appreciate your compliment though because I do not own "pretty" guns. No worthless safe queens in my house. They are built to kill, not the red carpet. As to what you paid for yours back in the "freedom" days bout the time of that 3rd "I Love Mom" tattoo, $289 brand new. At least that's what my uncle told me about his.
Trash your goals and plans for life. Just wing it and you'll never be let down!

The 24 is a heavy gun. The one I got has got to have the tightest choke of any shotgun I have ever owned. it will blow the heads off partridge at 60 yards.
