Odds are the fellow will be too proud of it if he bought it himself through custom shop. Good ones go for $250-300 on gunbroker. If you could get the smooth bore for $100 less you could send it off to Bobby Hoyt and have him rifle it. As a smooth bore it's next to useless unless a fellow just had to have one. Won't be as accurate with a ball. The range is so close with shot that a fellow could just head shoot small game with a rifle.

I favor the renegades over the hawkens. No shiny brass for hunting and they don't knock the piss out of your cheek. They come in 50, 54, 56 smooth and 58. They can be rebored up to 62.
