Sorry this may be a long story.
Well truthfully this firearm has been on my "To Buy" someday list for a very, very long time even before I really knew exactly what a Kimber was. A Benelli autoloader scattergun a Montefeltro Silver 12ga to be exact. Been watching, looking, shopping for a long time, then they came out a few years back with the Ethos, which I liked a lot but the Ethos is priced right at 2K, so I was undecided which to buy. I kept coming back to the Silver. I asked the Mrs. which she thought looked the best, she said the Silver, Dilly Dilly it was done.
There is a gun shop about 30? miles from my house that I love to go to. Vickie dreads going there with me, she knows I'll be in there a long time. It is like a Cracker Barrel Gun store, they have rocking chairs out front for folks to sit in. Inside it is still old school, pistol cases with people that will let you hold every pistol in the case if you want to. The rifles and shotguns are in racks all over the store and you can just walk over and pick up any long gun you want just like the old days. Benton Shooters Supply
They didn't have a Montefeltro Silver in stock, he could call his Benelli supplier to see if he had one and if he did it would take 2 weeks to get it in. So much for supporting local gun business. I want it for Christmas. Price was not bad at $1,575, no shipping but add high Tennessee sales tax.
GunBroker had three, a rough looking used one for $1,350 and the other two $1,600 and up.
Here is the crust to the story. Kentucky Gun Co I check there site from time to time, pretty ok, I've bought from them a few times. Main issue with KGC guessing about 80-90% of there stock is "Out Of Stock." You have to get price quote by requesting it by email (annoying but I did) this morning I check the answer. I was shocked and surprised, quote was a little over 200 bucks less than the best price I had found anyplace else.
I have a new in box Montefeltro Silver 12ga coming for Christmas.
That was a long story just for that HUH?
It was slow on here I was bored.
