What modern SxS shot guns do you like.

If you could choose any Side by Side modern shotgun for less than $5000, What would it be? I am talking about shotguns that are made today and not ones that are not made any more. I would choose a Merkel .

From what I've read about the Merkel, I would have to agree with you. The value/$$ is said to be excellent.

The RBL series.

Dean Romig · 01-14-2011, 08:58 AM

I agree John but the RBL is way over $3000 now.

I'd be considering a little 28-ga. AyA #2 case-colored round-action with 28" bbls.

Big D · 01-14-2011, 10:04 AM

Dean. Agree, but the question was $5000

Dean Romig · 01-14-2011, 10:14 AM

I'm sorry, could have sworn I read $3000

Age.....

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

The initial 20 ga. is discontuinued (bet it comes back some day) but they are making them in all other gauges, I believe.

At the East Coast Fine Arms Show in Greenwich Ct. last weekent CSMC had about twenty of them for sale in the rack.
