I have one I bought at a gun show for $125.00. It had some rust pits on he receiver and the stock needed refinishing. I sanded out the pits and reblued it, checkered and refinished the stock in an oil finish then topped it with a Nikon 3 x 7 scope. I love the little gun. I've killed a lot of feral hogs with it. The only problem I have encountered is the fired case will occasionally miss the ejection bump and not fly out but it gets knocked out by the next cartridge coming up on the feeder plate. I can't ever remember missing a follow up shot when needed and never a problem with the single bar while cycling the action. With Hornady 160 grain lever Evolution bullets the Model 170 will shoot 1 inch groups from a bench rest at 100 yards. For 52 years I have shot nothing but pump action shotguns so the Model 170 feels right for me. It looks like a shotgun, points like a shotgun and is quick and very accurate.
