That is SWEEEEET! :drool:

That is cool. You may have fueled a new project for me.
what I love about a SxS is being able to put a Nitro in one side and a cheap winchester in the other-that way when a bird comes into 20 yards I can save that expensive shell! I currently use a Leige SxS 10 and have sort of stopped using my sp-10 just for that reason.I saw this gun and made it a project so I guess its a backup gun.(cant have too many 10s....) :funnyturkey:
Just plain sexy
Awsome!
How much does that gun weigh, and are they readily available or hard to come by? Also, screw in chokes?
they show up on gunbroker from time to time-its heavy (havent weighed it probably about the same as my sp-10 so a shoulder sling is a must).It has screw in chokes-the euro guns tend to be tighter choked-I ordered 2 extrafulls online and was going to have Carlsons rechoke it-but after patterning it and getting mid 200's with Nitros I just decided to leave it as is.
Nice gun. :icon_thumright:
Nice :icon_thumright:

In theory, that works. It's the execution when things get dicey. Back in the late 70s I owned a Zoli 3.5" 10 gauge sxs, an Ithaca NID SxS 3.5" 10 gauge and Mag10. I managed spectacular, teeth-rattling misses with all three. My close barrel shot 55% with a spreader load of 2.5 ozs. of Lawrence #3 shot, my far barrel 95% with larger shot. With just beads and looking down the barrel I can still see those birds running away laughing when the smoke cleared and my senses returned after my eyes uncrossed from the recoil. I went to an 835 with rifle sights which helped some, but there was the occasional miss. Things are a lot better with a red dot, but yes, there is still a miss or two (or more) every other season, but it's not as spectacular, and the gun is about 4-5lbs. lighter. Good luck!
Just a dag um BEAUTY!
