And regarding Rich's comment about the "styling": Once you take it apart, you'll find that the shape of the gun is mostly determined by the inner workings. There is not much excess steel at all, for example the section that covers the barrel is like a thin wall steel tube. It's so thin that it makes you wonder how they could even machine it without distorting or collapsing it. It's a fairly large gun and it looks like it would weigh a ton, but it's actually not heavy at all.

Oh wow!
Spectacular example!

Have you shot it or are you conserving that grease stain?

I am curious... how long ago did you get it and how much were they before they "became too expensive"?

I picked up a Benelli B76 about 4-5 years ago. They were several listed and relisted on gunbroker without any bids. I picked up a mint one without a box for $300. Now they are hovering around the $1000 mark and recently saw one NIB go for a truly absurd price: http://www.gunbroker.com/item/589550942

Truly truly regret not getting a sport version for $500...
