Terry, I bought the same configured gun two years ago for $600 from a gun shop who apparently hadn't looked at the "book". It was in nice condition--good bores, unmarred wood, etc. I ordered a couple boxes of RST's with the idea of using it as a turkey gun and found that 1) it had a huge amount of drop, 2) it was heavy (nose heavy), and 3) I couldn't shoot it worth a darn. I sold it to a dealer at a large gun show in NC for $900---he probably had a ready buyer. You are a big boy and likely can handle the recoil, but I'll bet you won't like the fit!
