I actually avoid set guns for that very reason. I would rather have two guns with one set of barrels to hold and admire.

Interestingly enough a 16/20 set is on GI right now for high retail but with two triggers I bet it gets snatched up if the 16 gauge set are Krieghof.

I have 5 28 ga repos
4 of the 5 are 2 barrell sets
One is a 4 barrel
26 ic and mod
28 mod and full
28 skeet and ic
28 inch .410 csmc skeet and ic
Last a 28 inch ic and mod
Some put together
Some original
They did not make that
Many 28 ga, so
The one for 11k is unique

I think the 26 in barrels in South
Georgia are worthless
No thick grouse cover very few
Swamp quail left
I use the 28 in barrels for all shooting

Dean's comment "One set of barrels, doesn't matter which" does not ring true. A one barrel set, 26", sells for thousands less than a one barrel 28" gun. It does make a difference. Oddly, I had to buy a two barrel set years ago, during the closeout, because a one barrel 28" gun in any double trigger configuration was not available. I paid $2850 instead of a lower price, $1995, for the "out of stock" one barrel set. I tried to locate a one barrel 28" double trigger gun from all three closeout dealers, but could not locate one. They were awash with 26" guns.

Deleted my comment - I had misread the ad.

I’ve had my hands on plenty of the Repros from the time they first hit the market . And from inception until now I’ve never been able to talk myself into purchasing one . To each his own I just cannot get past the MADE IN JAPAN part . To be honest that’s also why I’m not to much into Brownings that weren’t made in Belgium .
