Someone who knows what they are doing could take a SKB 280 E 20 gauge with 28" barrels, and open up the chokes, and reduce that beavertail by half and have one helluva bird gun for just about anything for short money.
I had the F barrel opened on mine. The Mod barrel was already on the open side of Mod for a 20ga. So now it's just a question of shooting the L barrel (choked .003) first, and I have pretty much the equivalent of skeet 1 & 2. But with the Merkel 20 and the more recently acquired vintage Ugartechea sidelock, I think the SKB is likely to find a new home before long. Otherwise it will mostly gather dust, and it's too good a gun for that.
