Found an O/U I may be able to live with.

Stopped in the local Cabela's today to scout for some 22 rifles and found an old Remington 3200 skeet instead. 26" barrels and wood to die for. Shouldered like it was an old friend. Now if I can just talk my Better Judgement into letting me spend $1800 on it.

Are you familiar with the 3200s? Have the upgrades been done? If not, that is expensive. Remington 3200 Skeet gun Blue Books for $1375 in 100% condition. No serious skeet shooters shoot 26" barrels anymore. Take a deep breath. Is this really the gun you want? Guns at Cabelas are rarely a bargain. Good luck. Mark

+1 to Cabelas stealing your lunch money

Back in the mid 80s, when I went from club Skeet to NSSA competition, I knew two comp shoot who had R-3200s. Both of them had a bunch factory parts bags in their gun cases and both of them soon upgraded to K-guns. I can't remember the last time I saw anyone with a R-3200 nor a Skeet gun with a 26" barrels. Does Remington still have parts for the R-3200? I wouldn't wish a 26" R-3200 for Skeet on my worst enemy.

That's just too bad. The wood on this one is incredible and it was just strange enough for me to like.

Cabela's typically, like Gander and BASS, have about 10% wiggle room on pricing. Before oyu plunk your money down, go out to places like GunsInternational.com and find similar guns and pricing - Since GI is NOT an auction site, you will find realistic pricing to give you a better idea where Cabela's pricing is at.

BTW, wood is the cheap part to replace on older guns like those

I'm a little strange, I've never minded paying over blue book for something I really wanted. I worked in musical retail long enough to know that blue book has very little meaning to true market value.
I don't think I've ever been on gunsinternational, or if I have it's been long enough ago that I've forgotten.

OH YOU ARE JUST EVIL! Took me 10 minutes to find 10 shotguns I wanted. And I didn't even look at the SXS's
