BPGuy, where does the line start, I would buy that gun in a minute! It doesn't have to shoot, the wood is good enough incentive to me. I want one.
Thank you, too!
I bought that gun at an Academy Sporting Goods in San Antonio, TX. If you have some Academy stores near you, and you're willing to do a bit of shopping, you can get a gun with pretty nice wood. I was fortunate to get this one. I looked at guns at one store, and the 20 ga. SxS had nice wood on one side, and very plain on the other, so I passed. The manager directed me to the Academy closest to that one. When I arrived they didn't have a 20 ga. on the gun rack, so I asked them to check the computer. Sure enough, they had one in stock but not on display. After about 5 minutes, they located it and opened the box. One look at that wood and I snapped it up. I'm sure that had it been on display, it would have been gone long before I walked into the store.
It does shoot well, BTW. The first time I took it out was to a local sporting clays shoot. We shot with an SKB, a Beretta, an RRL and a Guerrini, and we (my little Y-gun 20 ga SxS and I) took home the top score of the day (47/50). The SKB guy actually got pretty PO'd about it...
