A quick look on Guns International shows four different Grade III guns for sale, all 12 gauge.
They range in price from $1999.99 to $4500, with the high one being a pawn shop offering. This is what I meant by forming a consensus.
A 20-gauge Grade III recently sold here in Virginia for I believe just over $3K, not long after it was listed.
For at least the past three decades the 16 has never enjoyed the same range of ammunition choices as the 12 or 20. 16-gauge fans have always known this, but it remains in the field and blinds, and new shooters discover it every day.
They did not produce the Grade III very long, especially in the 16, so it will generate plenty of interest. Yes, it is a Citori, a mass-produced, machine-made gun. But they have a solid reputation, and to many, especially young shooters it would be a nice step up from what they currently have.
