I think that Stevens 311's and 5100's are really great guns. My first sxs was a Stevens. I bought it from Bill's House of Guns in Merrill Wisconsin it is a 311 12 gauge. Nice stock, durable gun. I think I paid $125.00 for it used but in great condition.
I still use it today. They are still a bargain.
It would be interesting to see how many double shooters got started with Stevens Shotguns.
