I guess it depends on how much/many shells you shoot...but I'd always go with the nice older Gun...for the prettysoul factor..as long as it fits, but thats just me...like a medium pigeon or duck gun this one is only 1200$...bet you could find a lovely vintage Boxlock Extract in fine shape to fit you for 3/4000 if you look hard http://www.hillrodandgun.com/picture.php?id=12446
good luck
