I'm almost tempted to not say, fearing posting to a board like this to cause the price of "undervalued" guns to jump.

But I'd say a lot of the Husqvarna SXS "hammerless" can be found in the $500 range. The wood and metal is almost always very plain, but the Swedish steels are second to none, and the craftsmanship and designs very sound. It is also easy to find one rigged for a sling, which I value for something I'm truly going to use in the wild bird fields.
