H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Well, I recently picked up a brand new IAC 93/97 shotgun. (Yes, I know they are not SASS Legal. That topic has been done to death. No need to restart it here.) I have to say that I find it to be a very well made gun. Smooth action right out of the box, comparable to my 2 orignal 97's. Looking it over, I can see why it is called a "93/97" as it has some features that the original 93's did not, but that 97's do. All in all a very nice gun, and I am gald I picked one up. Even if I can never find a club that'll let me use it at local level shoots, it's nice to have as a way to round out a "Winchester" collection. My ultimate goal is to have an example of every Winchester repeater made in the 1800's, starting with the Henry. Originals when I can locate and afford, reproductions when I can't. This brings me one step closer to the goal.

Doc Fill 'Em 67797 Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 I have one of 200 Coyote Cap's Special Edition 93/97s. Waited a year for him to get it done. Very nice shotgun. Congrats on yours.
Klondike SASS Life #29713 Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 I have one and really like it, as said well made, works great and is a awesome house gun (and at the time they were dirt cheap)! I have used it in a mothly WB match. Of course I could not leave well enough alone so I put in screw in chokes and polished it a little.
JD Trampas, SASS # 55781 Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 May not be SASS legal, but most local clubs will allow it, it just the state and above matches that it is illegal All for now JD Trampas
Dubious Don #56333 Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 I got one at Big 5 cheep I used it as a practice gun until I found something else, now it's the house gun...
Lone Dog, SASS #20401 Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Come on over, we will let ya shoot it here. Picked up a coupla those dirt cheap when Big 5 was blowin' 'em out. Nice guns outta the box.
Olen Rugged Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 I have one and use it nearly every weekend. The local folks know that it has no competitive advantage, especially in my hands. (It quite handy for modification of props by a clumsy cowboy carpenter like my self) You will love it. Shoot it and enjoy it. Olen
