So, it was built with C and IC chokes? Is that not a bit odd for a 30 incher? Just asking 'cause I'm not as up on originality as many of you guys, and don't have access to the book(s).

My 1886 Quality D 10 Gauge Lifter 32” two barrel set was ordered as follows:
Damascus choked “ to shoot close”.
The accompanying Laminated barrel set was “requested to be bored Cylinder”.
The chokes for the Damascus barrels were patterned “RH 200 pellets and LH 200 pellets of size 8 shot in a 24” circle at 45 yards.
The Laminated Steel barrels were documented at RH 125 pellets and LH 125 pellets in a 24”circle at 45 yards”.

Wonder why the price was so low. Other Cabelas guns seem to be fairly expensive priced at or above market. Almost like it was a typo in pricing. someone forgot the '3' in $3,750 ?

Presumably an error. A big one. Based on history of cabelas pricing I would say they forgot a 9. 7499.99……

I did ask them if the price online was accurate and he said it was.

Need the letter. It may or may not give info on chokes. If it doesn’t it’s pure speculation.

78CJ,
Congrats!
I sometimes visit that Cabela's once a year but never found a once in a lifetime deal like that one.

I didn't get it, they refused to sell it to me when they realized I was an FFL buying it for myself.

Stings, total BS
