They are great guns and hard to beat for the money. A good alternative would be a Miroku-made Charles Daly 500. ...and, of course, the Miroku Browning SxS. I have 3 20ga BSS guns that I shoot regularly and a 12g BSS that was my first sxs, which is the only reason it's still in my safe. I put the BSS and SKB guns in the same catagory.

I don't see a lot of difference in terms of reliability between the BSS and the SKB. Maybe a little edge to the BSS with its mechanical trigger. But the main difference between the two is that the SKB's are significantly lighter.

Hi:
What is different between teh SKB Ithaca 200E and the SKB 280? I thought that the 280 had choke tubes and the 200E had fixed chokes.
I have a 200E in 12 gage and one in 20 gage. I use these for pheasant hunting over a pointer. For some reason, I can shoot them very well and I do very well at skeet with the 20 gage. Mine both have the silver receivers that I think look much better than the blued versions.
The 20 gage has a 25" I.C. and Mod. barrels and the 12 has 28" Mod. and Full barrels. Perhaps I should get choke tubes put into the 12.
All in all, they are good solid guns! If one wants a good SXS for not a lot of money, look for a SKB Ithaca.
Stay well my friends,
Franchi

Hi:
I just did a search on the SKB 200E vs. the SKB 280 and I found the 280 has a straight stock whereas the 200E has a pistol grip stock.
The 200E that has the screw in chokes is called the 385.
Stay well my friends,
Franchi

I shot a 20 ga 280 in the early 70s and with the 25 inch barrels and open chokes it was a deadly bird gun! Bobby
