NATIONAL WILD TURKEY FEDERATION GUN OF THE YEAR
CAN ANYONE ESTIMATE THE VALUE OF THE NATIONAL WILD TURKEY FEDERATION 2005 GUN OF THE YEAR? IT IS A BROWNING BPS WITH A WHITE METAL RECEIVER (STAINLESS?) ENGRAVED AND GOLD INLAID. 12 GAUGE; 3" SHELLS; 26" BARREL (BLUE); AND MATTE (WALNUT?) STOCKS. I CAN'T FIND INFO ON IT ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET. NOT LISTED IN BLUE BOOK. EVEN GOT SKETCHY INFO FROM BROWNING CUSTOMER SERVICE. GUESS IT'S SO NEW, NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT IT. BEAUTIFUL GUN.
THANKS.

Per the blue book, the NWTH BPS for 2003 had a mfr. suggested list price of $587. I don't know how much the organization added on for 'donation' purposes. Close as I can come. The new blue book won't be out for a while yet.

A couple years ago, I bought a NWT FED. banquet gun, Year 2000, Only 1000 made, Ithaca 37. Beautiful gun but very hard to find a buyer for. I got it cheap and could only make $100.00 on the sale{Got Lucky} Not too many people want a gun to hang on the wall, but there are some..... If you use it and it shows any wear, It's worth about as much as any Browning BPS......Just my 2 cents....Good-Luck,

The real value in these kinds of firearms is to the organization selling them to raise funds. They essentially do not evaluate, and using them destroys whatever, if any, extra value they had NIB. They are decidedly not an "investment." 0 -
I won one of these in a banquet raffle. It's pretty nice and I'm trying to decide whether to keep it in pristine, unfired condition or to add it to my 'shooter' collection. If the value in unfired state is significant, I'll set it aside. Otherwise, I know it'll be a great shooter.

Well, Since you won it and you don't have alot of money wrapped up in it, I would say to keep it UN-FIRED and save it for the grandkids or someone...Besides all that shining metal would really stand out in the woods...[;)]
