I thought the RBL production was discontinued, are they still being built?

Here are the modern SxS's in my safe

RBL 12 w/32" barrels - 9 lb 3 oz
RBL 12 w/32" barrels - 7 lb 8 oz
Win 23 Heavy Duck
Merkel 47E 12ga 28"
Merket M8 12ga 28" (which is for sale...)

I think the best value in a 20ga is the Smith and Wesson Elite Gold for about $1300 new.

I haven't shot anything but a Parker for over 10 years (I lead a sheltered life) but the last time I did it was an SKB 280 20ga.

If I had to do it today I'd look at an AYA or a Grulla. The 5K dollar limit might prove elusive however.

They are not making these today ,but you can often pick up NIB guns of this make on GB ,I have a Browning BSS Sporter in 20 Ga. ,26" Barrels IC and Imp Mod. ,Straight English Stock ,SST.and Ejecters , in my opinion ,one of the best S X S ,Box Lock guns ever built ! Mine has literally thousands of rounds through it and is as tight as when it was brand new ! I bought it new in 1980 !

I agree with the #2 AYA. I have a 28" round frame .410 and it is a wonderful gun. A friend who chews on them for awhile and then tries something new sold it to me for a very reasonable price.
