I've bought a half dozen of these over the last few years.....in 16 gauge. IMHO it's priced at about twice what it should be and that would be no great deal. Remington40x is right on it terms of being a price where one might consider it. This one pales beside my 12 gauge 6R EE and I paid well under $3000 USD for it. Mind you, that was about 7 years ago.

I try to look at every MF Ideal that comes to market in NA and I'm comparing prices to what one pays when they are bought in France.

The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia
