I'm sure the present generation of Super is a quality product but I'm less sure about the price.
The only "present generation" of Superposeds is available solely through the Browning Custom Shop. These guns are hand finished and assembled and are much "finer" guns in fit and finish (I still suspicion that Lebeau-Courally has a hand in some of this work) than any of the original production Supers ever were, and are priced commensurately. They are also available in configurations never available in the early guns; i.e. a 28 ga. w/30" bbls.
Ron McGee, who is Browning's director of their Custom Shop program, told me last year that the exchange rate with the dollar vs. the Euro has all but stopped the Superposed production because they cannot be priced here at a competitive level. A good example is a C2G model, which basically is an engraving pattern label but also includes a certain level of wood quality and checkering pattern, was priced on Browning's website in 2008 at $22,000. Last year this gun was priced at $33,000, which is absurd and not sellable at that price. They no longer give prices on the website and are quoted on a bespoke basis. Last I heard, this model was somewhere around $25,000.
