Flaco Joe Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Are Ithaca Model 100 shotguns a good option for CAS? I found one with a single trigger in 12 gauge that looks pretty nice. What would be a good price range for one? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Ithaca Model 100 = SKB Model 100. CAS has driven the price on these to the $1000+ range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaco Joe Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 Thanks Larsen. I found one for sale for $800. I may have to grab it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Excellent light and fast double, easily smoothed up. Will last a long time, if you keep the butt stock tight on the receiver. good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watab kid Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 ive always shot "bottom of the line tools" till i upgraded to my rueger vaqueros - whole different topic but it leads me to i still shoot bottom of the line shotguns' save my original 1911 vintage win pump , i see nothing wrong with these unless the experience is established that thyey break down regularly , i have not had that with my stoegar coach of my vintage stevens hammered double ...........or the winchester for that matter , my shotguns have always run good - i dont always run them good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaco Joe Posted April 26, 2022 Author Share Posted April 26, 2022 I have a Stoeger that has served without fail for over ten years. If this SKB isn’t a significant upgrade, I can always pass it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Arrow Hombre Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 The SKB 100 is the best double for our game. Significant upgrade over a stoeger in durability and handling. The fact that the 100 was the base model makes zero difference for cowboy. The “upgrades” in the 200 and 280 don’t make a bit of difference in our game.

Love my 200’s as the beaver tail forend fits me better than the splinter. I have seen both types of forend on both 100’s and 200’s but don’t know if that is a factory thing or a modified by user thing. Color me SKB through and through in any case. All of mine were set up by Johnny Meadows. Thanks JM!!! YMMV Regards Gateway Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major BS Walker Regulator Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I found a SKB 150 about a year ago for that price. It's now my main match gun after Fast Eddie worked it over. A 150 is a 100 with a factory Beavertail forend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watab kid Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 if mine ever give up ill look to this , all of you have me convinced and there is a dealer in the area i trust , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I have always been happy with my Baikals, so I am trying NOT to let anybody talk me into trying out their SKB. Actually, I don't think it would do much for me at the moment as I am more limited by technique (and practice). I am only just now trying to load the shotgun with it on my shoulder and can immediately see the benefit. Not sure why it took me so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
