I was at a shop yesterday, and they had one of the cleanest ’97 Riot guns that I have ever seen. Bluing, wood, and mechanics were all original and super-nice! They knocked 150.00 off the price, which brought it down to 550.00. I already have a decent one, but it has a repair to the stock wrist, and was not as nice as the one that I held yesterday. I passed it up, thinking it better to invest in other Winchesters. I did buy a nice Model 50 12 gauge for 200.00, because I didn’t have one of those. It shoots fast and smooth. Now, should I go back for the ’97 12 gauge?
