I need input pricing a shotgun, I have been offered a Browning Citori Feather in 28 gauge. It's beautiful and I would like to pick it up but am unsure of what I should offer. It could be described as new in box except the original (and present) owner has fired two rounds through it. There is not a single scratch, ding or dent on it. It comes in a beautiful tan leather and canvas Browning case. On the negative side, owner has misplaced one of the Invector chokes and having been stored in house full of smokers, the case smells of cigarette smoke.

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
Have to agree with 3macs .if you could pick it up for 2500 it would be a steal . If I recall correctly the 625 sporting listed over 3500 new the last year they were cataloged . A 625 field feather in 28ga would would be very close to the same price I would think .

LOL Ross had a used 625 12ga for sale this morning on the site and now it is sold. It was listed for $2699.99
Cheers
 
The last MSRP listed was around $2800, and even with the conversion, many of the guns sold for under MSRP. I paid $4600 tax in for a 625 Feather three barrel set about five years ago, and the MSRP was around $5000 at the time. I could have purchased the 20 or 28 gauge for $2000 at the time. Then the dollar fell, and the prices went up a bit.

I sold my three barrel set two years ago for $4500, and I thought that I did well to use it for three years and pretty much break even.:) It looks like the prices went up even higher since they were discontinued.
 
I have owned and shot 5 Citori 625 shotguns, two of which were 28 gauges... at one time I had a full set of 12/20/28 gauge guns as my primary upland guns, they are an excellent gun, and the first to have the lengthened forcing cones... personally I prefer the fit and styling of the 525 series... I currently have the 525 in 12 & 20... they mostly see the skeet and Clay's range as I do the bulk of my hunting with Ruger Red Labels in 20 & 28 gauge and a Ruger Gold Label in 12 gauge.
 
I never said I bought a feather 725. And I never would buy a break open gun with an aluminum receiver. Like Macintosh says any gun under 6 pounds just does not swing right. Not sure what people have against a 6.5 pound gun anyway. Guess some like to pay more for less.
 
I have a 12g 725 Feather with 28" barrels. Weighs in at 6 pounds 7 ounces. A fantastic game gun and a pleasure to carry, especially in the coulee's. I only have about 2,000 shells through it, but zero issues to date. It's no collectors piece and not expensive so it is easily replaceable.
 
There is no doubt in the 525. It’s probably the best Citori. My mention of the 725 I got was in regards to the price.

A used gun just should not be worth the price of a new one.

What you are missing here is 28 gauge.
Don't care what make or model a gun is 28ga demand and get the highest resale values many times more than they were new if no longer made
I collect them and most pay through the nose for most of them
I sold a sweet 28ga ruger here on the EE about a year ago and in 4 hours had over twelve I will take it. Sold to the first member in like 4 minutes
This gun the op talks about would not last either on the EE for top dollars if in good condition
Cheers

A more desirable model, in a more desirable gauge brings more money. I owned a 625 Feather , and a 725 Feather, and I much prefer the 625, as do many other people. The 725 may be newer, but many of us see it as a step backwards. And a 28 gauge , will bring more than a 12 gauge.
