I like them both and have them in 12, 16 and 20 ga.. I do find it a lot easier to find a small bore in Ithaca NID that is affordable than a Sterlingworth. Seems like every seller thinks that Sterlingworth 20 ga. all start at two grand. I bought a 16 NID with 27" barrels for 200 in like new condition. Wonder why the bob job? It patterns imp. mod and light mod. which is excellent for upland game.

Everyone seems to choose the Sterlingworth for upgrades but I could see a nice NID as an option. Maybe after I move back East I'll see about having one done.
