I have a question for you folks.
I just aquired a Orvis 555 Green Mountain Uplander 12 ga. shotgun with the straight English stock.
On the barrel it says Model 505 made by new SKB, Japan.
I figured that it was worth around $500.00. New, they sold for a tad over $900.00.
On some gun boards however, I'm seeing them sold for over $1200.00, and one dealer is asking over $1400.00. This dealer has a picture of it, and it is the exact gun that I have.
My question to you people is, did I just get a great deal, or am I seeing things wrong?
Thanks for anything that you can give me on this.
I don't plan on selling it anytime soon, because I plan on hunting this gun for many years.
Eric
