I'll offer this: make that a satin blue, a full pistol grip, a long semi-beavertail, a raised vent rib, with 32" barrels, @ 8 lbs., and I would definitely consider one.
JR Same here....make it a dedicated clays gun and I'm all in.

28 gauge, 32" barrels, straight grip, ribless, lever on the left, streaky English Walnut, then maybe I'll take a closer look. Shouldering a pair of left lever Bosses converted me to the idea.

I fully agree with 8-bore on the "Left" side lever. I am right handed & find a left hand lever a natural for a right hand shooter. Your thumb is already on that side of the grip, just flick it down to open.
Don't much care if the "Wonko" likes one or not, having turned the big 80 I am old enough to have formed a few opinions on my own.
As to the rest of the gun I would prefer a 28" barreled 16 gauge.@ around 6-6Ľ lb.

JR Given that it's a sxs--which automatically means it's more attractive to hunters than to target shooters--they wouldn't be likely to sell very many high dollar purpose built sidelever target guns. Now if it were an OU target gun with a sidelever . . . Obviously Larry you don't follow the NSCA events around the country, both large and small, where there are hundreds if not thousands of registered shooters who participate in the sxs events. I assure you there are many more prospects for this gun in this segment than for a few hunters scattered around the country. JR

A push button for the top lever would have been more in line with this gun. I agree and will raise with the opinion that the push button like the ones on NEF singles is the best option of all for an opener...Geo

The lines of the action on this gun are most unattractive to my eye.

The lines of the action on this gun are most unattractive to my eye. And beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It has a perverse attraction for me as a competition sxs. For a classic bird gun, not so much. JR

Both this and the 486 parallelo might be more interesting if double triggers are available...

Welp I guess I'm the only one who likes the sleek clean lines of this gun. I also love side and or under levers.
What I don't like is the black liquid looks of the gun. Give me a nice figured walnut and rust blued barrels and if priced right I'd be a buyer. Offer it in sub-gauges would be more of a hit to me to. JMHO

The lines of the action on this gun are most unattractive to my eye. In complete agreement. Have spent a lot of my life looking at the lines of cars and of boats. In both cases, just about every time, the cleaner the line, the better looking. And as battle says, this has clean lines....but they aren't good lines. To my eye, they are forced...different purely for the sake of being different, rather than clean because the designer got rid of extraneous stuff and got it down to the essence.
