This would seem to be a modest price for this gun but not knowing the condition of the barrels leaves a question mark. The subjective description does not provide the information I would need. I have a few other models of Scotts and although hammer guns are priced much higher.
The fit of the barrels at the breech on this Scott could raise questions as to the barrels origin. Many of these old Scott's were made where the barrels did not have full reach to the top of the action and this one may be OK, it just that I cannot see enough of the action to barrel fit at the top to give full marks. Other than these questions and the barrel's complete condition and it's current proof, it appears from what I can see to be a wonderful specimen that I would like to own if it had not had the chambers length to 2 3/4 inch causing it to be out of even black powder proof. Also as a caution one should never bid (or buy) on guns without seeing photos of the barrel flats and action breech face and its flats. How often have you seen a seller show photos of the action face and flats?
The sellers comment that the barrels are out of black powder proof but the barrels are thick and suitable for low brass( I take to mean USA manufactured low brass shotshells) is a comment that causes a knowledgeable person to question much and produces the opinion that the seller has no understanding or very limited knowledge of the pressures of shotshells.
If this gun was in "excellentia" condition mostly meaning that the barrels are so with much wall thickness, in Nitro proof, and mirror bores then one would expect it to bring much, much more. In my opinion as expressed above the gun sold for much more than its real value as a safe shooter.
I know that my comments are more than what was asked by Mark, but maybe these remarks will help gun neophytes.
Maybe Dustin will comment as he is most current on the values of these delightful old Scotts.
Mark; is your Scott that you referenced Nitro proofed?
Kindest Regards;
