Thread: Quality side by side advice needed

This is the Japanese SKB, I assume, not the down-market Turkish models? I looked carefully at an SKB s/s, with interchokes.Very nice gun. Wish I had bought it, more than a few times. There was some criticism that the interchoke barrels are thicker and so don't swing so well but I was quite happy with the balance. I'm sure there are a few around. The one I looked at was used, like new, and sold for about $3000 about 10 years ago. I think the action is the same in all of them, just the barrel length, and interchoke or plain jane bore are the variations. The gun I looked at, an interchoke version was steel compatible and took up to 3 inch shells. A piece of total quality Japanese engineering.
