Default Model 21 or Model 23

Given same condition and almost same asking price which almost fits your toy budget, if you had your choice (and both is not a choice) where would you lay your money down?

Next, if the 21 is 12 gauge and the 23 is 410 do you change your mind?

Cheers,
Jack

John Olin's personal favorite Model 21 gets my vote.

At even money and same condition, Model 21 in 12 gauge is favored, without a "vote" cast for the 23 in .410. Food for thought.

Thanks,
Jack

A 23 at $4000 is pretty maxed. A $4000 Model 21 will continue to rise in value. In fact, the 21s are in a real slump in price at this time, ready for a comeback. Double trigger 21s are becoming a real cult gun.

Jack, what are the details of this 21 you have your eye on? Grade / Pics?? You have a nice streak going especially with that nice Sterlingworth you just got.... this may be a keeper.

21
26" skeet chokes only seen 2 pics
Haven't asked any questions. I keep seeing it on one Canadian site when I surf. Been there for over a month. Our market is quite different than yours. Asking, and not getting, 18 Ben Franklins

I'm not on a roll, just interested that it continues to sit. Play money being diverted to Africa trip now.

Cheers,
Jack
