I also have a twelve and a twenty in the Citori also Jagermeister. Those are my primary pheasant guns and have been for some time now. Both of them are straight gripped Upland Special models and handle (for me) like a dream. I am one of those who happens to like the 24 inch barrels. Good recommendation!!

PS
BTW Stan, you really had me going when I read your post, until of course I detected the decidedly "tongue in cheek" slant to your post that was identified by your magnanimous offer to take them off Ed's hands!!!! Sly. Very sly!! Just having a little fun, Perry. My BSS guns have all been Japanese, but my 30" 3" chambered gun may well be the last shotgun I would sell. It's not the prettiest, the rarest, the oldest, and certainly isn't the most valuable. But, it's the one that breaks the most on the sporting course and kills ducks like it's a part of me. Dead nuts dependable single trigger and ejectors, and handles the recoil of 1 1/4 oz. duck and crow loads like it's nothing. And it shoots where I look. What more could I ask of it? SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

I've had both models and I didn't noticed any difference in quality. But I never looked for differences either.

I would say you have a keeper Stan!! The same goes for my BSS 12 SL and my Merkel 147EL. Those will still be with me on my last day here. All others are "negotiable"!!! Well, maybe the Gold Label will remain with the other two?!

I've had a 12 ga. since 1985, a 20 ga. since the mid '90s, both SSTs, both Sporters. The 20 is marked something like "ASSEMBLED IN KOREA FROM JAPANESE COMPONENTS". The 20 stock is lighter colored than the forend and slab sawn, not a good looking stock. The 12 developed an "optional" extractor quirk -- spent shells are merely elevated unless the barrels are pushed open very firmly to the max, then will eject. I had Briley's install choke tubes a long time ago, and asked them to fix the ejectors, but it was no easy fix and I decided not to put a lot of money into repair -- can't remember the details.
