https://www.skbshotguns.com/shotguns/200hr-targetTried one of these out yesterday at my clubs five stand. I really liked it. All attributes of a true target gun. The DAC was a little low (stick on Gel pad fixed that).The trigger was a bit heavier than I'm used to but broke clean. I really liked the balance. 32" tubes.

Thanks for the report, Ken. They are very interesting guns, especially for a competition shooter who shoots a ramped-rib o/u and wants to shoot sxs events. I have a suspicion these guns are much better quality than their price point indicates. Though a lefty version, this Dickinson sideplate version with rust-blued barrels of the same gun, is mighty attractive even for the price: https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-f...un_id=101133913JR

It looks like it uses v-springs instead of coil. Not a bad looking gun.

One is $2500, the other is $3795. Is the wood the only difference or are they different guns?

The SKB is a scalloped boxlock with ok wood and a high-polish, flashy blue job. The Dickinson is a sideplated boxlock with outstanding wood and a beautiful rust blue job. They are mechanically the same, both made by Akus in Turkey. Here are better photos of the SKB: https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-f...un_id=101106455JR

Everyone has their own tastes on these matters.
I find the actual triggers on Akus shotguns to be cheap stamped junk. Not the creep or pulls, the trigger blades themselves.
I run an Akus small bore in SxS shoots for it's dependability and ease of shooting modern ammo. Outrageously strong ejectors. Break a window 2 miles away! Blind a spectator from 30 paces!
Out there doing it best I can.

CZ, the triggers in the ad photos don't show up as so cheaply made, look ok to me. Are they hollow, tinny, what? Please explain a little further. Thanks. JR
