Just a suggestion.You might have a tough time finding a "lightly used" shotgun for $250.00.I'm no pawn shop guro,but if you are patient,know what your after, and how much its worth,sometimes you can find a steal(no pun) at the P.S..Works even better if you work a trade into the deal.Two of my rifles came from local shops,one brand new for a good price, and the other purchased from a guy carrying a rifle into the shop to pawn,who I intercepted.Pawn shops see a sketchy crowd,but they still generally have to mind their P's and Q's when it comes to firearms.Good luck with the search.
