Let's celebrate them Repros!

[QUOTE=Greg Baehman;61002]Dean's set, I have to believe is quite rare, as a matter of fact, I don't ever recall seeing an original same gauge 2-bbl. set, 26" & 28" bbls. with the same chokes before. Dean, do you prefer one barrel length over the other? =QUOTE]

If I can be completely candid, I prefer the 26" barrels for skeet stations 1, 7 and 8. For stations 2,3,4,5, and 6 I prefer the 28" barrels. The problem is... unless shooting a very casual round of skeet with very understanding squad members it is nearly impossible to lug the extra set of barrels around the course and change barrels depending on the station.
Sometimes I shoot the course with the 28" barrels but mostly I shoot the 26" barrels. The 26" barrels are by no means a handicap and I will usually choose to use them.

That's worse the Sporting Clay guys changing choke tubes at every station.....

OK Boys, here are my 3 amigos in 12, 20, and 28 all wearing their long barrels today and a closeup of each in that order. I know, must have lost the extra triggers somewhere. More to follow!

And finally, a couple more of my favorite, the 12. Note barrel markings and chokes. This is a very versatile gun. Lengths are 28" and 26" as you might guess. The serial number does NOT contain SSS. It is a serious duck killer, In fact I made a tripple on gadwall with it once! One with the first barrel and two with the second as thery came in to my decoys.

I can't believe you found a 12ga set with 26" Q1/Q2 barrels and 28" IC/M. I didn't know such a combo even existed! It is perfect! I want one too!

I don't think there are too many sets like that out there Marvin. Especially with BOTH barrels having 3" chambers.

Eventually, all of them Eric. He likes to shoot the 28 ga for sporting clays and he did well at trap with the 12 ga recently. I shoot the leftovers.
...and, those 20's kill ducks too! This is mine before the face lift.

What a beautiful set of Repros! One of them though, has a funny looking lump on the stock behind the trigger guard. What's up with that?
