I'm not a fan of RBL's but Gunbroker has a nice 30" 12 bore with lots of choke tubes and a leather covered pad for 3k.
GB 552562562
Also a semi local gunshop here in NC has a very nice Poli boxlock sporter, looks new, with right hand palm swell and beavertail forearm for under $2500.

Regarding SC I am going to try a Meriden hammer gun. PS I agree with Turdogs and it is a shame (not a surprise) that Campbell is leaving. The Brits are probably next and this forum will be toast.

I hope to heck Mike isn't really leaving. But way past time to load up the car and pack the clowns off to the circus.

Why would anyone feel the need to announce they are leaving? Why would anyone feel the need to pronounce the forum "toast"? People have come and gone since the beginning.
It is a fringe site (double guns) in an area of interest (shooting) that is beginning to become fringe. There are never more than 50 or so members looking about.
If you have something compelling to add or impart to a discussion, feel free. Or, not. Your choice. What goes on here, now, is nothing compared to what the board was like back in the day. None of us own it, we just participate.
Ed has always been nothing more than a huckster, and the things he has posted do nothing to advance any of our interests in a vibrant and healthy second amendment, or the shooting sports. Nothing. Keith calls him out on it. I can choose to read it, or, not, and you can, too. I doubt any lines would form, here, to buy one of Ed's burned guns, and that in itself demonstrates the value of this site. Like it, or not.
So, if it suits you, leave. We will more than likely miss your input, but, the forum is not toast.
Best,
Ted

gee ted, sorry for you that you harbor such ill will agin me and others here...life is really to short to waste time dwelling on such negativity...
and it could be helpful for you to practice what you preach:
such as, "If you have something compelling to add or impart to a discussion, feel free."
so, to the point, do you have something compelling to add to this discussion of sxs sportin clays guns? if not, then perhaps it is you who should go away, or not?

Not really any "others", if you will, Ed.
Just you. And what you have done to some otherwise fine double guns.
Compelling, no?
Best,
Ted

I sometime shoot Sporting Clays with my Dickinson SxS 12 ga.(from Cabela's). I use 1 ounce reloads. The gun is a bit light for 100 rounds of Sporting Clays. But it is good practice in the early fall for bird season.
More often (all summer) I shoot my Beretta A-400 with the built in Kick-Off recoil reducer on SC's.
On most of the local St. Louis SC courses, one can use IC for most/all stations.

I shoot some SC with two 16 ga SxSs. The first is the top end of a pre-war blitz action Merkel drilling and the second is a plain old early 50's Simson. I still shoot a little better with my Red Labels, but I'm getting there.

As far as sc is concerned I shoot whichever gun I feel like shooting. What the hell does it matter. You should be enjoying yourself.
As for the unjustified amount of crap posted on this thread,I wish you guys would would grow the [censored] up and learn when to keep your mouths shut.

justen, i too shoot what i feel like that day...always looking for the gun that "some how" makes me a better shooter...
one of the joys of being a hobby gun dealer is the opportunity to test fire different guns before shipment to new owners...
trouble is, some times i test fire them before sale...often i fall in love and wind up squirreling one away...then when the closet is full, its time to move erm on...cept for the few i really shoot well...those ones keep getting shoved further and further back into a deep dark corner...one of these days i gotta get in there with a flash light and see what i got...but not yet...
anyway, just a reminder, the purpose of this thread is to identify sxs's besides the browning bss, that have a known record for reliability on the competitive target range...for example, parker, smith and ithaca all made trap and skeet grade guns...any experiences any of you wish to share re these old target specific guns?
and what about the win 21? do they hold up under stress?
