Keep looking. For example, there are two Francotte doubles (albeit lower grades) on Steve Barnett's site for $800 and $1,300 less than your shop is asking. I bought a beautiful 30E 20ga. a few years ago for under $3K too.

I agree with "Franc Otte" and wouldn't want this one at any price, but if I had to have it (for some reason?), the price would need to be closer to $2,000. In my opinion, there are better guns and better deals to be had.
