Walmart's price is just over $200, no rust! The scope is a give-away, I wouldn't count it in the deal unless it has nice rings, the rust is a negative even tho it may be easy to remove with #0000 steel wool and gun oil. Used Handis usually go for $150-$175, sometimes even less.

I would count the scope as zero & that makes the gun too high.

Tim, that's the way it used to be in my area, but now the used ones in very good condition are almost as high as the new ones, especially the Ultras. I think the locals have found out something, dang it!!  ;D

To be honest with ya, I don't see many used ones here, if any, I have to go by what others have reported they find em for. Every time I pick up a new Handi at my FFL, they don't have any NEF or H&R rifles, once they had a used Pardner, tho, and they have a lot of used rifles in their racks, just none of the right kind!!

I've looked in a couple pawn shops, they usually have a shotgun, but never found a rifle yet, got an idea they don't last long when they put em up for sale, and for good reason!

Recently I looked for a K31, looked for Handis too, never found any used, anywhere. New ones at Sportsmans Warehouse, GI Joes and FMS.
