Very little, if any, downside to the Ithaca/SKB guns. Good quality and durability.

Agree with Don. Darned good guns for the money; I think some of the better buys on the used market.

I shot a 20 gauge Ithace SKB at Skeet for years and never had any problems with it at all.

My first double was a used 12 gauge Ithaca/SKB 500.
I wish I still had it. It was a very nice gun.
I also had a 20 gauge SKB 280 E. It too was a very nice gun.

My first double was a model 100. Still have it and has worked since about 1975. Nice affordable gun.
