Huh? Really?



SRH


Someone did? On THIS THREAD? Darned if I could find it, other than a reference to "MOI machines" by Lloyd back on p. 2. Lots of talking around the issue. Rocketman can give you numbers--as he did concerning an Ithaca SKB 20ga with 25" barrels in a previous post--that quantify handling characteristics. Those numbers will obviously be different depending on whether you're looking for something that handles like a light game gun vs a heavy target gun. But if someone explained the concept previously, then I apologize for having somehow missed that explanation.

Thanks, Don--and for the refresher on MOI. The gun I was looking for in specific was the Model 100 20ga with 25" barrels. Lighter, and different weight distribution than the 280 because of a short splinter vs a longer beavertail. Also ejectors vs extractors, and PG vs straight stock. Surprised you haven't spun one of those on your machine. Pretty sure you'd get even less swing effort than the 280. Some grouse hunters like them because they are so quick into action. But, for that same reason, they're challenging as target guns.
