Steve,
IMO, SKB guns are very well made production guns. They have good steel and are well machined. They are in the class of Citori's IMO.

However, since they have a design/style that appears similar to Merkel's and other eastern European o/u's, I beleive they lack the mainstream appeal that the more aesthectically pleasing, streamlined style of the Citori and Win 101 which are based heavily on the Superposed. That's one reason they have a lower used asking price on the market, IMO.
