Ozark Shark Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 My SKB 200E is 6.53 lbs and my SKB 280 is 6.68 lbs. Both have 22 inch barrels. I find the break action works better and the gun is more balanced in my hands with a 22 inch barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since this thing has gone 9 posts and nobody has answered your question yet, I will do the best I can. Both the wife and I have SKB 100’s. Both have pistol grip stocks and 20” barrels. Both stocks have had about 3/4” cut off. Mine has a sporting clays pad installed and Pinky’s has a leather but cover. On my bathroom scales they each weigh 6.2 pounds. That’s as accurate I can get with that scale. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Browning in the same configuration as my Skb, with the sporting clays pad only the stock was cut about 1/2” shorter weighed in at 6.6 pounds on the same scale. Also, the balance point on the Browning is about 1” farther toward the butt than the SKB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chambers are slightly farther apart on the Browning. Takes a few times practice loading to hit the chambers smoothly for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc roy l. pain Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 1 minute ago, Ringer said: Times comparable? Yes. Best thing I like about the Skb over the Browning is that the barrels clean easier when using BP substitutes. Even though I shoot the Skb almost exclusively, the Browning feels like a more solid gun. I like the Skb because even the 1/2 pound difference in weight is easier on the arthritis in my right wrist when I shuck the hulls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondered if the little difference would be worth it. You’re very welcome. I would suggest before you buy one that you try to feel the English stock one also. They are a few ounces lighter because of straight stock. Also go with the splinter forearm to save another couple ounces over the beaver tail one. I know we’re only talking a couple of ounces, but people with wrist problems will know what I’m talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondered if the little difference would be worth it. I also have hand and wrist issues and I find for me that an SKB is easier to handle than a BSS........ For me, the straight stock doesn't work as well as the pistol grip.... And a Beavertail is a Big Positive ........ IF you plan to shoot BP. But everyone is different, so As Roy L Pain suggests "Try before you Buy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
