Binko, what I said was purely subjective and I don't want to offend anyone that likes the way that gun looks. It in no way reflects my favorable opinion of the make from a functional standpoint. I really don't like that forend and I'm not fond of the engraving either. That said, I don't think the price is insanely out of line. I just don't know that it qualifies as a "deal". I wish I had gotten a deal but unfortunately I didn't because I bought it new.
