The two I find on the Cabela's website are at their Hammond IN and Mitchell SD stores. $13.5K on the Hammond gun, which is new but with a "handling mark" from when it was on display. The Mitchell gun is $1500 less but used.
They are decidedly heavy for 20ga game guns. If I recall correctly, when I spoke with Tom Bryant about these, potential uses included things like high volume doves in South America.
There's a photo of the barrel flats of one of the guns. Interestingly, it still carries the "1200 bars" proofmark. Per Dig Hadoke's book (p. 139), "bars" went away under the most recent proofmark change, which took place in 2005. Yet Cabela's states that the gun was manufactured in 2007. Wonder if we're now in the same situation as the late 80's, when there was a transition period from the old "tons" proofmarks to bars, when either could be used.
