Sold Ithaca by SKB 280E 20 Gauge Side by Side - $1700

[jquigley]

Improved/Modified fixed chokes. Ejectors. Single selective plated trigger. Full coverage engraving. Aftermarket buttstock.

A few safe marks, but in great shape. Recently serviced by local gunsmith who said "looks like it has barely been fired." Pleasure to carry and shoot.

Wanted to give fellow hunt talkers a shot at it before it goes on gunbroker.

Feel free to shoot me a message if you have any questions!

Kind of surprised to see this listed. Good deal on a great gun.

Those are excellent guns. I have a pair of SKBs myself.

Lovely piece, I've never operated a straight stock. What's the cliff note mechanics?

 

[BrentD]

It operates just like a pistol grip. In this case the tang safety should be automatic and the trigger is selective with a button behind the trigger shoot. The system is inertial so if you have a failure to fire in the first barrel a second pull of the trigger will not fire the second barrel. Not a big deal - how often do you have a failure to fire anyway, and then need a second shot as well?

As single triggers go on side by sides, these seem to be the most reliable I have ever seen or heard of. Certainly, these are very well made guns.

Speaking only for myself, I would shoot steel in such a gun, but not bigger than #4. Otherwise, I prefer Bismuth anyway.

Awesome gun!
