Bought my second one from Sportsman's Warehouse for $320 in 2007, the last year they were made, $350 is about what they normally sold for new most places tho, bought my first new one in 2005 for $300 from Sportsman's. Bud's last price on it was $286.00

Its fair, not a steal, but fair is OK.
Most important is the alpha code of the ser.num. to help determine which chamber/throat it has.
IIRC, the '07s were the really 'right' ones. That said, mine is an '06(?) and I am shooting lead with satisfaction and have not re-throated it.
I like it a lot (and its my 2nd one, I let the 1st get away and later regretted it).
It is not likely they will ever make these again, get 'em while you can.
