It would have taken me about 1/4th of a second to say----SOLD !!!!!
This is probably the best gun deal you will do no matter how long you live.
Best,

I have owned one since 1970 and have put 10's of thousands of rounds thrue it and use it regularly to shoot sporting clays. I use mine which is a full and mod 28" for grouse. I load spreaders for it and get the spreader wads from ballistic products. Make the trade cause it is very high quality compared to the stamped metal Mossberg. You won't regret it.

I like my 200E. I've shot steel through the IC/M tubes with no issues. Nice guns. More likely than some to crack at the head of the stock at the points of those scallops.

I've owned several Ithaca SKB SxS's. They are good guns, but do have one weakness -- a tendency to crack or split in the wrist area.
This is easily prevented or repaired by glass bedding the rear of the action. The scalloped sides sometime cause this cracking by bearing in an uneven manner. If you own one, it is a good idea to glass bed, before you have a problem.
A similar tendency exists in L.C. Smith SxS's.

Much better handling than BSS, IMO. Not sure why they don't bring more on the used market (especially the 12's), but we should all be glad they don't if we're buying.
Some owners report doubling problems, but that's usually when using very heavy loads.

I have one in 12 ga and one in 20, both 28". Great values -- mine aren't for sale. The 28" have Mod & F chokes but I use mine for everything
