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
