That's the going rate, and you should feel lucky to have found it.

Note this is a 20 not a 12. The 20s have never commanded the prices that the 12s do or been as hard to find.

Sadly, they do now.

I've seen $410 for the 20 gauge, and $550-$700 for the 12 gauge.

Every where I have seen 20s and 12s in stock the 20s are less. That is not to say they are not going up to but they should not be priced anywhere near a 12. If they are, buy the 12 instead. The 12 is a very soft shooter anyways, is reported to be more reliable and has higher capacity mags available.

Why the 20? Kick almost as hard as the 12 due to the light barrel, harder to find parts to convert. I'd go 12, or if you want light, get the 410. More parts for it.

No, I said that a 20ga's going rate was $450 or better; you commented that was 12ga territory and I stated that price range was now inhabited by the -20's.

As has been reported, when you can find a Saiga 20 it will sell for $450-$500 (last month's price range for a Saiga 12) and if you can find a Saiga 12 it will sell for upwards of $600.
