I have a 20ga. RBL and I had a 12ga., two barrel set Repro. The Repro had absolutely killer wood and I had no problem with the SST. With the wood, skeleton butt plate, case and finish I would say the Repro was the prettier gun. But, the RBL has vastly better dynamics than my Repro had and the same is true of a 20ga. Repro that I had some trigger time with. That settles it for me. The RBL is the better gun because I buy 'em to shoot 'em.
