IMO, any HANDI SB-2 that doesn't have a bent barrel is worth $130.

+1 on BB's reply, even a bent barrel can be shortened if ya got 16" of straight barrel from the chamber end, go for it, that's a great buy, you can just about double your money in parts!!  ;D

280 is an outstanding cartridge, and in the 26" barrel you get all she has to offer.  If you were to run the 280 out of a handi and a 7 mag across a chrony, I don't think you would find enough difference to worry about.  I quit useing and sold my 7 mags after spending a season with the 280, now I have 3 of them.  DP

Man I've happened into a couple of deals, and if it was me at that price I would sell one of my guitars and jump on it quick. 280 is tops on my want list

At that price even I would buy it. It kinda takes the worry out of whether or not it will shoot. You could sell it for a profit any time.
