Probably the most well built and durable modern SxS on the used gun market today in the configuration you describe. Twelves are relatively plentiful and the twenties bring 2-2 1/2 times their prices, especially in the longer barrels. I sold a near-mint 12/30 SST BTFE a year or so ago for $1750 after no one would look at it for $2K. I equate them in terms of durability and reliability right up there with the Winchester M21. Have always had good luck ordering parts directly from Browning for both their SxS, Superposeds and Auto 5s. Always retail, but always OEM and flawless quality and fit.
