Just found that on Wolverine. Is it "good" for the price?

Actually, they don't. A new Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon S is $2500 with out taxes. If you buy that gun, then sell it in a year, you may get $1600 for it but you probably paid close to $2800 for it with taxes. You lose $1000 bang just like that. The CZ Redhead in 20 gauge is $1140 with taxes. The 12 gauge is about $100 cheaper. If you were to shoot it for a year then try to sell it, you may get $650 for it. You lose $400. In truth, expensive guns lose their value faster than cheaper guns. A $200 Maverick 88 can be sold used $120. You lose $80. The only guns that don't lose value fast, or any value at all, are ones that are of collectible status.

Like I said - it depends how much you shoot. Regarding your examples of the beretta and the CZ, put 50K - 60K rounds through each of them. Then come back and tell me which one holds value better.

60 Thousand rounds?

That's 500 rounds per month, for 10 years. And that's only if you shoot all 12 months of the year. Most people don't.

If you only shoot trap during the nice half of the year; That would be 500 rounds per month, for 20 years.

Who would even care what a gun is worth after that much shooting?

You're right, and I thought the sarcasm was obvious because nobody in their right mind would expect 50K rounds from a CZ, but you would expect that from a citori or beretta. Which is the point I was trying to make. Get it?

Like I said (twice), if you shoot a lot then the beretta or browning is a much better choice. Serious shooters surely DO shoot more than 500 rounds a month. But if you aren't going to use it very much then the CZ will probably be fine.
