Too bad the wood on those bobwhites looks like it came from the fence post aisle at Home Depot. I guess that's why they're under $1k though. Great platform for customizing!

I have a 1970's vintage Pedersoli with that plain utility grade walnut. However, I lowered the comb and then had to reshape the stock accordingly, forcing me to refinish the entire gun. It's amazing how much better the gun looks and how much more figure was revealed in the wood just by replacing the factory finish.

Steve I did the same thing with a 28 CZ. Didnt even look like the same plank..From what I have seen the Yildiz guns have some nice wood, at about the same price...Have to admit, my opinion of this gun under discussion is tainted.I am not impressed with any of the RBL's I have seen..

I have a CZ bobwhiye 410 that I like just fine.When I bought mine they were 800.00 and its a lot of gun for the money.I also have a Crescent 410 so I reckon I have the sidelock AND box lock covered and all for 1100 dollars:).If I had an extra 6500 dollars I would be looking at Purdey hammer guns too.

Chuck, I do like the first one, the Arrieta, nothing like a side lock gun with a straight stock.

What a bunch of nay sayers!!! I handled it about a minute at Las Vegas and gave Lou my credit card. I played the Spanish gun game back when Jack O'Connor was pimping Eusabio Arrizagas. I'll never waste money on another.

I have to say I was surprised at the reactions to this gun. I expected most to be enthusiastic. Five pound 410 SxS, modern manufactured by an American firm headed by our generation's Ansley Fox / John Olin.
I gave my son a custom AYA #1 for his college graduation. AYA shipped it late. But since he graduated late because he flunked Spanish the semester before it worked out. Ironic. Anyway it is a very nice, well made gun.
Best,
Mike

OK, Dave, the E. Arizaga is a bad gun. Now, back to the point at hand. What options did you specify on the new RBL? The broadside available on the net doesn't tell us much about what is available, except wood upgrades and grip style. No double trigger option? I guess we really don't need that. If sales are slow, will Tony give up some promotions like he is still doing with the new over under?
