greetings,

yesterday I saw one of these at a LGS. it was the stainless 5" with the flat barrel, and some kind of scope with antlers on the cap. they were asking $699 for it. is that a good price?

TIA

What condition is the gun in?
Did they use factory drilled holes to mount the scope or is that a do-it-yourself job?
Antlers sounds like maybe the Browning logo. (??)

I think Competition Target models should have the 6 7/8 inch long barrel but could be wrong.

Does it include the factory box, owners manual, etc.?
How many magazines are included?

If it's a 5.5" slab-side, it might be a hidden gem. Off the top of my head there were a couple runs of them- KMK512GC for Big Rock Sports (IIRC), and the 2004 KMK512GCUS "Victory in Athens" pistol (part of proceeds to support U.S. Shooting Team).

Big Rock sample had black laminate grips, in the "regular" profile:

The "Victory in Athens" version had a fiber optic front sight. The trigger and the rear of the bolt were gold colored, and it had black laminate grips with a thumbrest for a right-handed shooter.

There used to be a Bushnell "Trophy" 2-6X handgun scope that was well regarded for a mid-priced pistol scope. They had antlers on the turret caps, at least for a while. I think they were around $120 when I first noticed them, but I closer to $200 by the end of their run...

699 sounds a little high , especially with the front sight missing.

I didn't see any holes, nor any sign that there had ever been a front sight. :?:
