Thanks, everyone, for your replies.

MarkOue - What's the story with that vent rib? In anypictures I've seen of these guns I can't discern one. Is it only on the 28 bore (which is the one I'll get if I do get one)?

I'd also be getting it with 30" barrels. Any experience with such a set up?

KK - I have an RBL28 with both 28" barrels (SK/LM) and 30" barrels (LM/IM). I find with the 28" barrels I need to concentrate on keeping the gun moving on passing shots (ie, skeet stations 3-5). I am taking the 30" barrels out for their maiden voyage tomorrow, but they feel very fine swinging them around in the basement. The gun is just over 6lbs with the 30" barrels.


Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

KK,

The RBL-12 Vent Rib provides a flat sighting plane and little more. Put your money into Exhibition wood!

I own both light and heavy RBL-12s. Both guns have 32" barrels. I ordered these because one cannot buy another new SxS with 32" barrels. Being unique should help them hold their value.

I would only buy the 28 GA with the 30" barrels since that is a combination that is hard to find from other makers.

It is definitely harder to close. Since I have two RBL-28's, one with and one without assisted opening, I have the perfect comparison.
I wouldn't put the money into assisted opening. It would be cool if it didn't cost $450.
The vent rib comes on 12/16ga. guns only. Save your money or put it into something else.

I agree with Tom having 2 RBL-12's. Definely harder to close with the assisted opener.
