I got lucky and fell into a great deal. A local range had a 28 gauge 1100 as a rental (for kids and ladies, i guess). Trouble was, nobody was renting it. Everyone wanted 12s and the people who had trouble with 12s were renting 20s. So I bought the 1100 28 gauge, box, papers, chokes, all accessories for the price of a used gun even though it clearly had no more than 1 box of shells through it (tests only)
I'm happy.
