Strat, Thanks for the link. I'm aware of the gun and caliber. Also just finished reading the American Rifleman article on the 370 Sako. Sounds promising, but at this point in my life I need another rifle like I need a hole in the head. I mostly have all Model 70s. The .338WM is my only post '64 gun. Others are all pre '64 and include the .338-06, .375H&H, .358, 30-06, .270, .257 Robert AI and a .220 Swift. I have a few...

Car collectors have some technical definitions such as Classic, Vintage, Antique based on age and production status of cars. Maybe the same system could apply to shotguns.

Quote: an older depression era field grade gun in 16 or 20 gauge, but I doubt under $1000 as those are carrying a premium right now. 20 Gauge guns are priced higher, but 16 Gauge guns are relatively cheap. Mine cost me $285, and a little work. 16 Gauge, 2 3/4" Lefever Nitro Special (Ithaca). It's a Jazz Age gun, not a Depression Era gun, though. Good as 16 Gauge might objectively be, the market demand for a 16 Gauge working gun...

Welcome to SGW. Both are very good models that are well made and reliable. The Monte is geared more for upland compared to the all around use of the AL391. The Monte is lighter in weight than the Beretta and both are thin models. The Beretta can have all the weight added if you ever felt the need and the Monte is good to around a pound or so. They both can go longer periods between cleanings with the MOnte having the edge. The Monte is much...

Why not post that in the Calssified forum? You will get a better response there than posting in a year and a half old thread.

I own the SP10. Never had to opportunity to shoot the Browning. There is many things going for the Browning though : It's a little lighter to carry. : Dura touch is nicer than what ever Remington uses if you like camo. : Holds more rounds if your doing something other than Waterfowl. : Little easier to load no button to press to release the loading gate. : Comes with a broader range of chokes : Easier to disassemble from what I can tell...

I really think the 870 has met the test-nearly 60 years old with over 10 million sold, and still in production and selling well. There wil never be an exact criteria for the designation, but it's fun to argue about!

Fieldsport has a discription and is selling Zoli. See: http://www.fieldsportltd.com/gunroom/gu ... akerId=106

hivoltage- so your saying you have never taken the stock off and cleaned the trigger a$$ after, 10,000 shells down the pipes? that could be some of the issues your having?? do these diamond have screw in chokes? and if so what ones did you get.

In the past, Merkel built trap and skeet models.....perhaps still do. A friend had an early trap combo with 30" O/U barrels and a 32" top single. The Merkel importer should be able to special order a sporting clays model.
