Hunting Washington Forum

I'm looking for a nice sxs 20 that I can hunt with. I'm not worried about diminishing the value by having it threaded for screw in chokes. The SKB 385's come threaded and are about $2K to 2500. The Win 23 XTR's, some come with threaded barrels and chokes and are a little more to purchase. But, if I can thread the SKB 100, 200 or 280 barrels, then I'd be into it about the same.
Thanks for the feedback!!

The SKB's have become quite popular with the SASS crowd.  This has driven prices up a bit.

You don't currently own the gun you want to add chokes to?  If so, I misunderstood.

But yes, there's value to be had in taking a tight fixed choke SxS that is kind of a drug on the market and making it a versatile bird gun.

What is a smooth hound? What are the typical prized sport fish there?

Small species of shark. Went on a North Sea charter in Holland. Mostly mackerel.

I used Mike years ago for some choke work on an old Model 12 16ga. Great work and a super nice guy.

Great bull! I too have been waiting XX years to notch a tag on a mount worthy bull.... still waiting.... I probably need to get going on my steps as well.
