i don't know that $600 would be that far out of line. crosnoe has - or had - a std field gun 20 for $550 that was not in the greatest shape. i ran across one i grabbed for my father at cabelas here for $299. they wouldn't budge a nickel and i didn't care. lots of stock wear, still has quite a bit of receiver blue, non-original pad on an uncut stock but the butt was flattened for the pad. the barrel on the one you're looking at will add quite a bit to the value. as far as i'm concerned i stole it. cheaper would be better of course. but it's not like you're passing up an 870 or mossberg; you're not going to go to 3 other gunshops and see 3 more of them today.
don't worry about tying up the board. there's plenty of electrons and if anybody doesn't like the topic - and can read - they don't have to even open the thread.
