John and Perry, I was debating adding an Estate but figured it was too similar to my Arrieta to justify it. They do look like a lot of gun for the money.
Perry, is the rib as raised as it looks in the pics online?
Bob, if only 100, that would probably explain why I havent come across a 30 20ga with a straight grip. I suppose a modern recreation is my best bet.
Researcher, I only added them to my gun store circuit about 8 months before their bankruptcy. I wasnt seeking a model 21 at the time but planned to bid on two guns in the liquidation. Neither were included. I heard much of their inventory was consigned.

Carries and handles like a dream!!

I haven't used a trigger scale on them but I thought they were quite acceptable. I had read where some of these guns had atrocious pulls, at least according to the writer of the article. Of course, what I find acceptable might be found to be atrocious by others!! As a matter of fact, the more I participate in this discussion I am seriously beginning to think about discarding the idea of a BSS 20 and run back to Cabela's and pick up the Dickinson 20 they have!!

Nor have I. I am talking about the Dickinson here at Cabela's in 20 gauge with 30 inch tubes as the bigger brother to my 28 with 30's that I bought from them. I don't think they ever made the BSS in anything other than 26 and 28 inch tubes. Or in anything other than 12 and 20 gauge for that matter. That little 28 I have really handles nicely with the longer tubes. First one of any kind I have ever owned with 30 inch barrels.
