I picked up a like new S&W 100 20 gauge, 26" barrel, Improved Cylinder today. It was too cheap not to!
I was a little suprised at how well made it was, and it seems to handle very well - maybe some clays in my very near future.
It had some nice touches - gas piston assembly instructions in the forend, a strip of fiberglass cloth at the thinner back edge of the inner part of the forend where it covers the receiver, as well as two plastic bars inserted in the forend where the action bars move back and forth. The actual ribs of the ventilated rib are machined narrower than the flats, very classy.
I already have a Remington 11-87 20 gauge witha 26" barrel, and I like it fine, but a backup is always a good idea, right? At least that's what I'm telling my wife. Since it's lighter that the Remington with the S&W's aluminum receiver, maybe she'll like it. It's funny, I don't think of myself as a shotgunner, but somehow I've wound up with 4 of them. Right now, that seems to be where some of the better bargains are in used guns.
