Has anyone seen the 20 bore yet? I have checked the local gun stores and the cupboards are bare. If the 20 bore can't be had, maybe the whole project is just another RBL fiasco? -Shoot Straight, IM

Seem well fit and finished for the bucks. Wood looked like grade C fencepost with dark stain, satin finish, casecolored, nice bright blue, about 6 1/2 lbs

First one was ST, VERY heavy trigger pull (which Bruce Buck also noted in his review of a different one). Then, in May, got to shoot one with DT. Nice triggers, decent gun. Not sure whether it will sell in the $2K+ range, but I didn't see any real problems with it.
