That is a bit high, in my opinion. There are Merkels and Simsons around for that price, scoped. I recently turned down a good Simson in 12ga & 9,3X74R for $4,000.00 w/o scope. $1,900.00 would scope it nicely...Have you checked with Dale here on the forum...DLN...? He has excellent guns and is as honest as they come.

I still covet your 12 & 7X65R.
