Those were the very late SKB's, imported long after Ithaca was out of the picture. I had one, briefly, in 20ga. 485 with a high rib. Looked like it should be a target gun, but did not work out for me. After I missed 3 or 4 low 7's at skeet in a row, I finally figured out that I had to blot out the target with that high rib in order to hit it. If I floated the target just over the rib, as I do with every other sxs I've ever shot, I'd miss.

Ithaca Classic Doubles also built a few "competition" guns. I've seen some advertised but have never had my hands on one.
