A single (at the time, along with me) lady on our work trap league/beer drinking team had a flat out mint 16 gauge 311 that her Dad bought her, second hand. She couldn't hit squat with it, but, I could, and I always hoped she would see fit to send it my way.
Alas, that never happened.
I suppose the Silver Snipe 12 that came from my Dad qualifies as a cheap thrill. Haven't seen many of these sell for more than $500, and, they are worth more than that, easily, in a good, reliable, no nonsense gun. A few break firing pins on occasion, Ahlman's has them on the shelf.
Best,
Ted
