![]() ![]() ![]() The natural choice was the red label, in 2007 I had dealers looking all over the country but was unlucky in. 12 Ga 26' barrels with chokes When I decided to get back to duck hunting I wanted a gun that would hold up to the extreme weather we hunt in. The shop graded the gun after the 2 repairs at 97%. All Stainless with engraving on both sides of the receiver and a gold leaf engraved duck. A quick touch with a matte black blue pen and that was gone. There also was a slight mark on one of the grooves in the top rib approx. There was 1 tiny mark on the forearm, but with the advice of the gunshop, I was able to get that to suck out with hot water. ![]() I could only find 2 marks on the gun, both looked like they were "gunsafe" related. the gun would immediately be either bought by the shop or the price was going up. The gun was on consignment and the more questions I asked at the shop, the more I realized that if I walked out. After doing some more research, along with conman's response, I came to the conclusion that $1000.00 is a great deal on an engraved Red Label (50th Anniversary or not) in 28-ga considering a "normal" Red Label is more than $1,000.00. However, this was just too nice to pass up and it saved me $700. I had been looking at the Beretta Onyx Pro as I have loved my Xtrema 2 for the last 14 months and had the price been the same, I still would have gone with the Beretta. Based on your assessment of $800 for a used Red Label, I would easily value the engraving at $200. there is just something about a little scrolling and gold plated birds that I like. I'm just that wierd kind of guy that likes engraving. Hunter20ga, I completely understand your point.
