In my opionion, $4,200 and $4,100 are not really good price points for a 12g. Closer to $3k is.

I agree with Brian. I paid much more for my 12 gauge from Scot, but it was a scarce variation that I had searched for, long and hard.

I also agree with Brian.
If a 12ga PR is listed under $3,300 it will move quite quickly. A decent one under 3k and its gone in 5 minutes. Rare configurations, 3" chamber guns and DTs will bring a few hundred more and still move quickly. I have seen a couple straight stock DT 20ga guns move for higher prices pretty quickly.. A couple years ago there were quite a few listed in and around 3k and a hair higher, some here on the PGCA site, and you wouldn't have to jump on right on it to make the sale. So I would argue that prices have been moving upwards and I certaintly regret passing on a few 12ga PRs I had been looking around for quite a while and recently purchased a 12ga PR for what I consider to be a good market price and I literally had to dive on the listing to make the sale the instant i saw it. At $3800-4500 you can literally have your pick of woods, configurations, etc........ |

Thanks guys - I think I underestimate the saturation of 12ga's in the market and the yawns that appears to inspire.
Looking strictly at it, for what it is (the gun itself) - I'd say it's not an awful time to be in the market for a 12ga PR. The second link has a whole lot going for it as an upland gun IMO. -- Bill you have a wonderful 12ga and I'm glad you were able to cross one off the list. |

Have a lot of love for my 12 ga! Enjoy shooting the 20 and 28 but I guess I'm really a 12 or 16 guy at heart. Bought it this January for just under 4K. 2 barrel set 26" Q1/Q2 and 28" IC/M 3" chamber. It is one of those guns that just fits me and is a joy to shoot.

That's a great choke / barrel combination Tim and it's not one that seems to show up very often.

I ended up with a 12 because of how good of a deal I got.. If not for that I would of probably bought a 20, but I'm more than happy with my 12. Hunted all of last season with it, ES/SF/28" M/F barrels with RST 7 1/2 Spreaders.. Carries light for a 12 IMO, but that's after years of carrying a 8+ LB Ruger Red Label.

I paid more than 6 thou for each of my 12 Gauge Repros ...
Both were N.I.C, one a SCC and the other a 2 barrel set. And ... both with gorgeous wood. |
