turkey Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 What can one expect to pay for an original S.B.E in camo. I found a couple for $1059.00. I thought that was pretty high for a discontinued gun. Anyone find a better price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudhen Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Oddly enough, the market price on NIB SBE I's has actully held up pretty well, maybe even gone up a bit lately. I guess some folks like the older style? Best I can find is $999 for the black SBE (http://www.gunsamerica.com), so $1059 for the camo SBE is not too bad. I think the trick would be to find a deal on the SBE II as it seems like deals are to be had there. mudhen - CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turkey Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 Oops. I was in the store today. It was 1099.00 not 1059.00. Sorry about that. The black ones were a little less but not much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy4x4 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I got my black synthetic stock SBE w/ 28" barrel for $1000 out the door (tax and all) about 5 months ago...if that's any help. -Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turkey Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 Haven't seen a S.B.E. II around here since last fall. A couple of dealers have said they will order one with a significant deposit. With some of the horror stories I've read on this forum I think I'd rather wait until I see one on the shelf and can examine it before shelling out any cash.

mudhen Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 No no, I do not wear manties when hunting.... manties are for special occasions only..... In the SBE II - I shoot 3.5" Winch Ext Range #6's through a 1.5" Rhino .660. mudhen - CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turkey Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 Mudhen, By Horror stories, what I was referring to was a few posts way back about ordering one and having to wait for a long time or finding problems with it when it came in and not being able to get deposit back. My point was that I had decided to wait until I found one in stock and not risk losing a deposit. I just haven't seen one in stock around here in a long time.

mudhen Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I can hit 3 local stores in one hour and find close to 50 SBE II's in stock at any give time. Within 75 miles, I can find close to 200.... mudhen - CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turkey Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 Not that many dealers in my area. Just Gander Mountain and a few small outfits. We are minutes from Remington Plant so everyone carries Remingtons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
