It's an amazing shotgun. I would love to have it.
However, I can also use the value of the shotgun at the sporting goods store for equal value of merchandise. The shotgun is $1000 there.
I keep thinking that if the wording had been "$1000 value at XXX Sporting Goods" and not "Benelli Montefeltro," I would larady have a list of stuff to get there that didn't include that magnificent shotgun.
A genesis bow for my oldest daughter who just took 1st place in her 1st archery tournament
A crossbow for my wife (she wants one)
A compound bow for me (I want one)
lots and lots and lots of arrows to get lost in the woods behind my house
carrying cases for all the bows and such
Targets for the bows
Backdrop for the bows
Quivers for the bows
life jackets for the Hooligans (unrelated to all the above)
etc. etc
I'm thinking long and hard about NOT picking up that gorgeous and magnificent shotgun this time around.

I don't think I'll end up with that shotgun unless I get less than $1000 value for it.

I yesterday I spent my $1000 in store credit on a Ruger 10/22 TD Lite with a threaded barrel, a Genesis bow for my daughter, various and sundry other items we've had our eye on (arrows, life jackets for the girls, I forget what all else my wife picked out).
And bonus! My wife won this on the same drawing, which we did indeed pick up:

Neither my wife nor me are usually fans of such glitzy firearms, but in al honesty, that Henry is gorgeous. The pictures online just don't do it justice.
