noticed these guns are now selling for $1100 or less on gunbroker. are there problems with these guns? or is it just a lack of buyers?

CDNN bought up a lot of them and is blowing them out.

It never was more than a $1100 gun.
I looked at some of the first ones to hit the shelves, and there were fit and finish issues aplenty.
The store eventually sent them back, I believe.

What is it that S&W could have improved to make it the $2000 rig they touted it to be? I'm not arguing for it. I haven't had the chance to handle one so I'm interested in it's shortcomings. Anyone have first hand experience?

I recently purchased one of these S&W Elite "close-outs" from CDNN, and am quite pleased with it.

I saw a couple this past weekend that seemed to be well worth the money. Both in fit and finish as well as handling qualities.

I just purchased a close out from a shop out in Minnesota, $1050! Wanted it as a sporting clays guna and foul weather back up for my Arrieta, I'm totally, 100% impressed with the fit and finish...flawless, is a tad heavy for a twenty but appears to be a well made, well built high quality sxs. The original price on the box was $1799, I have to say that compared to other sub $2K guns I've handled and owned (and some pricier ones too)this is one of the most finely crafted shotguns I've owned. I believe comparable to any RBL I've handled (just opened a can of worms, huh?)
Not sure why they didn't take off, marketing I guess.

Cabelas took a bunch of them too. Priced higher than ya'll found but pretty good pictures; http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/conten...erarchyId=11657They have another ad for the singletrigger models. The pictures will blow up on my browser pretty large and it looks to be good fit and finish. I think they have a checkered butt. Best, Mike
I am glad to be here.
