That sounds like a reasonable price. I've had one for 6 or 7 years without any problems. I have duck and dove hunted with it, sometimes in pretty nasty weather. Mine is a 12 ga. chambered for 2 3/4 and 3 inch shells. It is the walnut/blued version. The SX2 is the same gun as a Browning Gold, except there is no magazine cutoff on the SX2.
