Seriously. If this thread hadn't been here, I'd'a had to start one. Hi-Yo and Awaaay, That Masked Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Tombstone, SASS #49630 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 You will probably hear most shooters tout either the SKB, or the BSS as the top 2 SXS shotguns. A serious disadvantage is that neither are made anymore. There are many others that work well however. I was fortunate enough to run into an SKB and a BSS at the same gunshow, the BSS is noticeably heavier, they both felt good and balanced well, at least at this show the BSS was 400$ more than the SKB. One downside to the SKB is that the trigger resets with recoil, so the second barrel will not fire if the first one has a misfire for example. I understand this can be gunsmithed away but it has never been a problem for me (Ya I ended up with the SKB and am happy with that desicion) So far I have only disabled the ejectors and smoothed things up, it runs so good I am stopping there because I love hunting pheasants with it, since then I obtained another so I suppose I could have one cut and smithed. I am guessing a BSS shooter will speak up to offer more comparison. Don't think you could go wrong with either. Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pit Bull Tex Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Anyone ever use a CZ s x s? It has not been touched and I dont know how a slicked one feel but it is so much slicked than the stoger I have. but the stoger is a 20ga and the CZ is a 16ga Guess I will use the rossi open hammered sunday.

No Buk Chuck SASS # 24540 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 We have a 150 SKB done by Shotgunner thats as sweet as they get. We have a 200 SKB done by Dirt and its very nice. I picked up one a while back that Johnny Meddows is gonna work on. So I figure we'll have the SKBs cornerd. And that Browning BSS is pretty nice to. Theres many less expense that work real well. But if you can afford one the BSS Browning or the SKBs sure shoot nice!! NBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anvil Al #59168 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 SKB Not the cheapest. But the best. Shot others for years. Finally tried a SKB. What the heck took me so long??? Got a good one done by Shotgunner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a CZ (12 Ga) that was imported by Armsco. It is actually a Huglu (Turkish).... I stole it, it is my go to shotgun, gets used every month just about. Stiff as a board outta the box, took a while ta get it loosened up. Beautiful case coloring and engraving, paid $450 for it, I'm happy JJJ-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I just don't know. But, I've been using the same IGA/Stoeger since 1985. While my shootin' has slowed down, and less frequent than previously... anyone been using another brand as long... oh yeah, one that hasn't ever been to a gunsmith? It would surprise me if a '97 would have lasted along... nor many BSS's or SKBs. Maybe a Stevens. My Stoeger might break the very next time I use it... but that would truly surprise me.

Deuce Stevens SASS#55996 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 fastest shotgun for sass period- stop using a double and shoot a 97' You've got to get out more bro. there's only two guys that run a 97' in the world that I feel like I can't stay up with using my SxS, and yes I've seen em all in action. oh and by the way. best double for the game? Browning BSS, coil sprung and mechanical trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Gun Cole Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Deuce knows doubles... I'll stick to the solidframe 97's. A double can be faster or slower, all depends on the target setup and the shooter... I have been shooting the same 97 since 2003, its sure has been taking a beating, but i know a good smith that keeps putting it back together each time i break it. 3GC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rio Brazos Kid Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I have a fairly new single trigger Stoeger Supreme Coach gun that I slicked up myself. Honed and polished the chambers. Lightened the top lever spring. Removed the auto safety feature. Installed Long Hunters hardened firing pins. Smoothed the action to include the extractor. Works smooth as glass, and the spent shells simply fall out when you open the action. Can't imagine anything working better. Yes, there are higher quality guns out there, but for reliability, and the money, I don't think the Stoeger can be beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace_of_Hearts Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 The best double is the one you own.... The one that feels it belongs in your hand. The one that the warm wood makes you feel like sitting around a fire. The one that brings back memories of good friends and loyal dogs. That should be your favorite shotgun!

Captain Woodrow Cahill, SASS # 54363 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 It's the one you're happiest with and got the best deal on. Right now I'm shooting a 35+ year old Boito I got for $180. I like it fine. Long tubes for balance and sighting, shucks hulls (smooth and ribbed) without a problem, and goes *bang* every time. Can't ask for much else in a shotgun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan Cord Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Yep, I have owned a number of them and still have my grand dad's 20 gauge. They tend to close up when you are trying to put the shells in 'em. I had a a BSS and sold it. I have 2 SKBs and both have been to Brileys to have their magic done to them. The SKBs just feel svelte to me me while the BSS feels like you are latching on to a 2x4 at the forearm. I am not fast, I just know what guns I like.

Barterin Bill Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 No one has mentioned a Baikal. They to are no longer available new, but seem to be plentiful used. I recently purchased one that had been slicked up, cut to 20", had a recoil pad installed, and a leather wrap on the stock. The previous owner installed the recoil pad without trimming the stock, which made it fit me perfectly. When I shoulder it I'm looking at a perfect sight picture. I know it's not the best shotgun available, but it works for me and it's the one I have. They are also supposed to be built like a tank. I hope this part is true.

G. I. Tarpicker, SASS #998 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Parker. Yep. But don't shorten the barrels or the Parker poleece will gitcha. I use a 12 ga. Parker Trojan that my Dad bought new in 1921 and hunted with for the rest of his life. It still does a fine job in the field for me, and at the occasional CAS shoot I go to. Light loads, of course.

I agree with Deuce: mecahnical trigger and coil spring. Be around long after I am gone and still working for some cowboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
