You need the magic decoder ring to see the picture. We all had them.

Some people might think that it's low miles.

I asked the magic 8 ball for clarification. Didn’t go so well.

Reminds me - brother once purchased an 11-87 for sporting clays. Gun just would not run. You couldn't do 200 rounds without a disassembly and clean. Traded it in 3 weeks later on a 425 Citori.

Went in a few weeks to see what they wanted for it - was told it had a very low round count as the previous owner only had it a month. He was shocked to learn that it had over 5,000 rounds through it in that time.

Looks can be deceiving.

Default Low miles? Hmmm.

Found this in the used inventory at a local dealership. Low miles? I'm not so sure.

Yeah, not so crazy. 1k miles per year is a ton for a lot of guys. Not guys that ride, but still.
