Value of 12ga VH right now.

[Joe from MO]

I have been looking around at maybe picking up a 12ga 28" VH lately...

The prices for online guns seems to be all over the place, ranging from about $1500 to over $4000........ If I am going to spend 4k, It'll be for a 16 or 20, not a 12.

Thinking ballpark range here....

What is a "decent" price to pay for a good, shooter quality 12ga VH like this?

I know there are a lot of variables, and I will only buy an online gun where I have an inspection period.

There is one I like on GI, that isn't overly expensive..... Sub $2000. But, for a 12ga SxS I am having a hard time even forking over that much. But, I do admit that part of the fun in this for me, is the search, and have no worries if it takes a year or two to find one I like and am comfortable spending the money on.

Thanks for your input. Maybe there is a thread like this already on this site, I just have not found it yet.
