Mike, the SKB and the Dickinson are both made by AKUS in Turkey. I've not shot an AKUS SKB S x S, nor even seen one, but can vouch for the quality of the Dickinson. Mine has very good double triggers and ejectors, and I have never had one iota of buyer's regret. Dickinsons are sold through Cabela's and Pacific Sporting Arms, and maybe some smaller shops, too. They carry a lifetime warranty to the original owner, and are serviced by Briley's.

Just wanted to make sure you knew that. Good luck, man.
