All the Skeet-ers seem to have fantastic wood. Any other thoughts on why the price difference? Last edited by Bushmaster; 02/25/10 10:35 AM.

Those made with all the options in the more desirable configurations command a premium. Definitely a "must read" for those interested in the Skeet-er is the DGJ article. It is well written and enlightening. Dean

But the .410's are an abomination of weight and frustration. Being a good samaritan, I would like to offer to relieve Dean of any further frustration by offering to take that .410 Skeeter off his heavily weighted shoulders.
