Any serious knocks on these? I'm thinking of trading into a 28" 20 ga. It's not a double trigger, but what the heck. Used to hunt with a friend who had a 200 and enjoyed shooting his. He's gone now and I thought this would help keep he and our good times fresh in my memory.

the only real problem is with the stock...to tight it could crack...to loose it could crack.....lighter and better balanced than its Browning counterpart....

They're good guns. I shot one for years and never had any problems. I've heard, as mentioned above, the stocks tend to crack if too loose or whatever. Maybe a little preventative glass bedding?

Back in the day when quail was plentiful here in central NC my brother hunted with a 12 bore Model 200. I can say he was very effective on singles with that gun. I shot a 12 bore Model 100 for awhile.
I never picked up one of those guns when it just didn't feel good.

I shot one for years, before I discovered English and then Scottish guns. I would recommend one highly. One of the best single triggers in the business, and the guns are reliable as can be.

Once a year remove the butt plate and snug the through-stock bolt, despite the likelihood that you will never find it loose. Since I have no intention of parting with my 2 SKB's, I had the stock heads glass bedded.

Tightening the through bolt usually does the trick. I have one exactly like that. Don't care for the tight chokes; can't decide whether to have Briley fit screw-ins or maybe part with it. I like the 100's because of the light weight, but I shoot the 280's better. Maybe because the beavertail forend adds some weight up front. But they're still pretty light guns as 20's go. IMO, all the Ithaca SKB sxs are good buys on the used market. Too bad they're all single trigger, but I can either live with that or can have Mark Robson do a DT conversion.

If you want double triggers, contact Mark II. He may do it for you.

I had one in 12 ga. and enjoyed it. The workmanship is excellent. I also glass-bedded after a minor crack, no big deal. I reamed out the full choke to modified and used it on pheasants and occasional SC. The beavertail/straight grip combo is practical and reminiscent of some early skeet guns like the Iver Johnson and I think some Foxes.
