Marlin Buckhorn,SASS 51727 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 What is the starting point for an Ithaca SXS single trigger made by SKB. Single trigger Beavertail forearm. Thanks for your time, Marlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowdy Yates, SASS #141 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 The buyer and the seller would have different starting points. The buyer might start at $50. The seller might start at $5000. Reckon they'd meet somewhere in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Canyon Kid #43974 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Stock SKB gun today, a really unbelievable lower price would be $700/800. Average might be higher, by likely $100 to $200 more. A high price would be $1100 or more with no CAS mods or gunsmithing-stock. You can buy SKBs ready to shoot by the best gun smiths close to the high price I mentioned (maybe a bit more with some mods). They are getting hard to find lately. Think of it this way, you pay about that for a good 73 ready to shoot, which many consider the best for our sport why not pay that for a really good shotgun for our sport?

Second ref was a gun sold three years ago. I did see a 280 12 ga shown, but the straight grip does not fit some shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Man Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 The side by side SKB imported by Ithaca some years ago were perhaps the very best shotguns made in resent years and were a lot more gun than the price was at the time. I remember paying full price of $285.00 for a new in box 200 E SKB in I think 1969 when they first came to the U.S. Over the next number of years I would buy any I found that were under $500 and in time I had about 75 in all mostly Model 200 E in 12 and 20 gauge. Thw SKB cocks on opening and I like that better than the Winchester 23. I have only found that a Parker will outshoot a SKB in my opinion. I had one SKB that was one of the first SKB to come to the u.S. and it was a shotshow sample with very beauitful wood, single selective trigger and auto ejectors and was a 200 E model. With dove season in full swing in Texas I had a girlfriend next to me as I fired at a dove using Winchester factory AA trap number 7 shot. As the dove flew by I fired and the report was muffled and my hand under the forearm started to sting and upon inspecting the gun I found the top of the right barrel was blow out just over the forearm where my right hand had been and the forearm was partly blow off sending spinters in my hand. I later found a very tiny corbon flaw in the blown out area of the barrel. I found a set of barrels from Snapps gunshot in Onterio, Canada {spelling?]for $475.00 When My wife decided she did not like my secertary of 18 years I was served with divorce papers and a court order to not go within 1000 feet of my house You can quess where My collections of SKB shotgun went alone with several hundred other guns. The SKB with the blued receivers were the older ones and the later one had a silver looking receiver. I have replaced a few I had found worth the pricebut as said above they are no longer cheap. I would call an SKB a poor mans Parker and the SKB is today worth the price they are bringing when one conciders the quality, But I warn You parts can be hard to impossible to come by.
