I think the original poster was referring to inexpensive yet quality doubles. $2,000 for a $4,000 Rolex watch would sure be a "bargain", but it would not be inexpensive for many people, including me.

From my own experience, I have to the agree with the original poster, the Ithaca/SKB's are heard to beat. Truly a good gun, yet still 3-figures in the field grade.
