Boito, a Brazilian company, actually made them for K-Mart. Their reputation ranks from "utilitarian" to "junky." If you get a good one, it will be a usable firearm that will last you a lifetime. If you get one the Horror stories are written about, it will fail, break, etc. K-Mart stopped selling these in 1984. Boito now is owned by E.R. Amantino, the same company that makes Stoeger and is generally regarded as a reputable, but lower-grade shotgun. The K-Mart Models range in price from $50 for a single barrel to $200 for a good double barrel with good wood, etc. Repair parts are available from several dealers. Many models, both single and double barrel (both O/U and SxS) were made. Some regard Boito K-Mart models as one of the worst shotguns ever made. Few say they are anything more than a useful, but non-collectable, tool.

Boito was an inexpensive line of shotguns made in Brazil in the early 1970s. Value is probably in the $150-$175 range, depending on condition. These were typically sold through K-mart, G.C. Murphy department stores, etc.
Some guy.
Between $250 and $300 depending on condition.
Made in Brazil by the E R Amantino Company, these were low cost shotguns sold through chain stores, such as K Mart and W T Grants. Scarce enough that they are not listed in many price guides, the going price for a 12 g side by side seems to be about $150, and a .410 side by side about $200, depending on condition. PS- a 12 g side by side Boito is my personal favorite- my wife bought it for me for our first anniversary in 1973. Still have shotgun and wife.
K Mart does not make rifles. They contract with makers to have their name put on weapons that they sell.
AnswerAs to what they are worth now,i would not try to guess.But here is some history that i myself know about this shotgun.They were first sold at K-Mart for $159.00.I know this to be a fact because i bought one back in the 70's.They were fine gun's.I always wonder if k-mart had mis-price these fine gun's back then for they stay on there shelf for a long time at that price back then.The Boito shotgun were sold a SS Kresge starting in 1976 and continued with Kmart stores afterwards. Some of the stock fitting leaves something to be desired but the gun can be reliable if taken care of and cleaned and not left in the truck bed. They can be purchased at on line gun auctions from 100.00 to 375.00 dollars US.
