Oleg,

What about a new Russian shotgun for the price of used?

Gander Mountain is now stocking the Russian IZH shotguns. I bought an O/U on sale for $349 Saturday in Woodbury,MN.

It was an impulse buy. I looked it over and it was a lot nicer than I had expected with walnut and stock fitting at least as good as the Ruger.

The pump was selling for $179 and I didn't take the time to look at the semi-auto.

It has decent wood stained darkly and can of course take 3 1/2" shells. I'll bet the Russian guns will give Mossberg some competion that they won't be able to handle.

Gander Mountain had four Rem. 1100's on the used rack (Maplewood store) but they were obviously new, selling for $649.
