Team Tractor hAs it right: go and tell your dealer what your budget is. The vast majority of dealers are keen for the return business and building relationships with customers that last a lifetime. They won't sell you a dog, but will give you the choice between new and old. The gun fit would be the most important for me, and if you're new to it, your dealer is probably the best person to size you up. Good luck. It's a great feeling, though, isn't it ? Looking forward to buying a first gun...
