There were some really good deals on FAIR OUs when Jim Austin closed his shop and Cabela's got their hands on most of the FAIRs. No sxs back then. I'm not much of an OU guy, but I got my hands on a 28ga OU that had most of the options sxs fans prefer: straight grip, double triggers, solid rib. That's one I regret letting get away. Although it was my only 28ga at the time, so I'm saved from needing to reload 28s.
