How much is one of these worth, with only 1 blemish on the stock, but about 80% on barrels? Only comes with the two chokes in it (I and III).Exeter, NH is the only other thing stamped on it. Either 26 or 28". A friend was looking at one and I didn't have any info to share with him.

That gun is Sig in name only (i.e. don't think of it in the same quality terms as their pistols). Several companies have made shotguns for Sig in recent years. Randy Wakeman has the following to say about the SA-3

quote:
When Sig Arms attempted to enter the O/U market, they just added to the confusion. The name of "Sig" meant nothing. The Zoli-made SA-3 models were very, very poor, while the Battista Rizzini SA-5 series guns were first rate. Rick Cole (Cole Gunsmithing), the Beretta King, imports some B. Rizzini's, as does Rizzini USA, as does William Larkin Moore & Company. The differences can be subtle.

I wouldn't buy it but if your friend wants the gun I wouldn't pay more than a couple hundred.

If they were made by Zoli, I'd pass.

It all depends on the asking price, and what else you could buy with those funds instead of this O/U.
