Price varies significantly with gauge and model. Some people don't care much for the SST on those guns. Quite a bit of creep. It's reliable enough, but try one with snap caps to see what you think. They're mostly heavier than they need to be too. I'd second JM's suggestion to take a hard look at SKB if you want something somewhat similar for a lot less money, but I'd point you in the direction of the earlier Ithaca-marketed guns.
