Some can be great buys. IMO, one of the best buys around is the Verona. I bought a 692 LX Gold 28/.410 combo, both sets of 30" barrels having forends, last year. I was astounded at the Beretta like quality. It was built by Isidoro Rizzini (F.A.I.R.), and mine was imported by ECC, Boulder City, NV. There are a lot of these guns around in differing model number designations, barrel lengths, gauges, etc. A gun exactly like mine, little used, can be bought for $1500-$1600, if you're patient. This may well be the best value I ever got on a shotgun. Only drawback, for me, is they all seem to be stocked very high, and shoot high. Bending will cure that, if need be.
