just because one of something sold for $300 doesn't mean that's a ballpark figure. any decent standard 50 or featherweight 50 or 59 will bring that.

i'll say again and i've owned and looked at enough stuff to know, the gun's right. it's not faked in any way, form, or fashion.

Don, will pm you where this is and how much.

50's and 59's are butt heavy but i've never used a gun that feels so ill-balanced that was so easy to hit with. and it's the gentlest recoiling non-gas gun i've ever shot. my father has my featherweight now and after his neck surgery he can't shoot most 12's of any kind but model 50's don't bother him at all.
