I can’t price that gun. But have been looking for a nice DH. My thought process would go like this

Looks good passes the internet eye test

28 inch barrels a significant negative. Not for me, don’t mind 28 but any future resale its going to sell slower and for less.

What are the stock dimensions. Many can be ruled out right away if the gun won’t fit its worthless to me.

Is it sound and the dimensions are advertised as right I would want to examine it in person before committing. Even if it requires a drive or flight to see the gun. Probably able go anywhere to examine for 500 bucks. Its worth it. Return privileges shipping back and forth are expensive better to go and look. In person passing mechanical exam & how it feels are the critical test.

Price ? Have Parker’s that were “good deals” and don’t shoot. Others paid “ too much” and love the gun. Price one thing value another. Real value is purchase price less posable resale price divided by how often it’s used . Original cost just one factor. To be honest passing these test a why I shoot a perfect to me VH and still looking for the right DH

William,

You and the gun are both in Virginia. Should be worth the drive.
