Hi All:

That is a nice looking gun! What is the price for one of these and how much does it weigh?

Stay well,

Franchi:

With 28" barrels and English grip the 20 averages 6 lbs 6 ounces with ejectors, the 16 averages 6 lbs 8 ounces with ejectors.....some are heavier based on wood density, check the listings....

Since I'm an avid reloader, I remove the ejector springs on mine and lose about 2-3 ounces overall weight.....

Cabela's is selling them all for $1599.00 + tax & shipping right now...12 ga, 16 ga, 20 ga....all stores, check the Cabela's gun library on line for multiple pictures of all the inventory by store location....

Average dimensions are: 14 3/4 LOP...1 3/8 DAC...2 1/4 DAH...

Hope this helps.....

No jOe, it says in hieroglyphics - "Made in Memphis"....... and on the other side there is a picture of a "Wiener dog and a blackbird"...........

Hope this helps.......

Can the stock on these be bent since they have a thru-bolt?

The Kimber Valier was a very nice gun - I shot it a few times when it first came out. These guys might indeed be making a very good reasonably priced SxS shotgun and that might get a lot of people back to these guns. A lot depends on how they feel.

Gnomon:

I would think not bending the thru bolt stock would be advisable....?....But I'm sure someone may try.....?...

These guns handle really nice, let's say, comparable to Fox Sterlingworth's etc. IMO.....plus they will, of course, shoot modern ammo up to and including steel duck - goose loads and buck shot for coyotes, fox etc.........

I hope these guns help get folks back into Side by Sides, their light weight, beauty and appeal with great handling qualities should convert some folks back............

I think much of the younger crowd is still in love with "Black Plastic" and "Camo Plastic".....and the "Clack, Clack, Clack of Hollywood".....?.....


Best,


Doug

I just want to say that I've been very interested in this gun and that Doug has been more than helpful with answering several questions I asked him. I trust his judgement and his advise.

Thanks Doug, you've been grand!

My friends Dickinson 28" 12b with 15" LOP weighs 6 lb 9 oz. They probably do the same hollow rib as Huglu does.

If I didn't have a 16 SxS that I really like I might give one of these a try. I would remove the ejector components for the weight savings.

One of the Cabelas guns showed stock dimensions of 14 7/8" X 1 1/4" X 2 1/4", that's good and high. No cast was mentioned so can we assume that the stock is neutral? It could work out by increasing the drops at comb and heal and thin the stock face to "create" some cast as an alternative to trying to bend the stock.

Some of you guys asked for these Dickinson pictures of the internal trigger assemblies etc., as taken from the owners manual....

These can be blown up for your viewing by Ctrl ++++ as most of you know........sorry about the pictures, but the book is quite small and I tried to keep the clarity reasonable.........

Happy Holidays to All.......

As was said a trigger plate action, as is the mega buck Dicksons.
