The RBL's are steel compatable. This gun has a lot of RBL in it methinks! Let's play. All the dislike aside what choices exist for a SxS gun of RBL quality today? Please don't say something used. I am talking about a new, fresh out of the box, gun. Spanish? Pretty much gone. Merkel? OK, similar price. Some would argue nicer, I'm not going to. Beretta still making SxS's? I don't know. Other Italian makers? again, don't know. If you do post them up! It's worth something to me not to buy anything Turkish. That is my personal conviction, that eliminates those guns for me. I would bet most of us here don't need to buy another gun, Turk or otherwise so it comes down to want. The price is about 1.5K off the mark. No mention of the weight, another fact some find important. I am not troubled by the lack of Fox attributes mentioned here. Nothing wrong with a A&D boxlock or Anson's FE release mechanism. A much better effort it appears, than the "Fox" model B! Not inclined to rush right out and buy another RBL for 5K, didn't pay but about half that for the one I own, and like.

Fire Away!
