How much please?

I need some help in finding the value of a shotgun I own. It is a Browning Citori O/U shotgun, grade one hunting, 12ga, 3" chambers, 30" barrels, choke full & modified, made by Miroku (Japan) in 1979. It is in excellent condition except for a couple of very minor blemish. I acquired this gun early in 2001 and I am the second owner. It has been used very little and never had steel shot fired through it. So what is it worth in todays market? Thanks.

Without screw in chokes it puts a dent in value to most shooters. Your probably in the $1000.00 dollar bracket.

Ummm...a VG+ cond grade 1, 30" bbls, a full choke, and that beautiful recoil pad from the 70's? I'd say 1000 is being extremely generous.

I'd say 750-800 would be max. If it was choked anything other than ful/mod, add 100.00

Here is an equivelent grade gun, except with the box, shorter barrells, and a few hundred worth of briley tubes for 1400.....and it's been here a loooong time.

Thanks for taking the time to reply guys. I have thought about getting the top barrel choked to IM or modified or having screw-in chokes installed. I have used this gun for upland game hunting and for a little trap shooting; same as the previous owner. So it did not make any sense to spend the money when steel shot is not used. Any other comments?
