Picked it up yesterday. With the exception of the sights, its a much nicer piece than I had expected. Good wood, trim, solid attachment. Good balance. Will shoot it this weekend. Just joined a new hunting club that has a bunch of hogs on it, so I look forward to a bunch of use out of it. After come back, will take to smith to have good sights put on it, but really, thats the only flaw that I see | ||

As to the size, its almost exactly the same dimensions as my little Reminton SBS 28g, but lighter by a pound | |||

Slim and trim, and light weight. Let me know what new sights get installed. The factory ones, as you imply, suck. ------------------------------- Will / Once you've been amongst them, there is no such thing as too much gun. --------------------------------------- and, God Bless John Wayne.

Have to talk to the GunSmith about whats possible. Easy to replace the rear sight, as its a slide-in, but the forward sight is a permanent part of the rib... Will have to wait and see what he tells me is possilbe. Also going to see about having a rail put on so I can attach a reflex sight | |||

It appears from the pictures I've seen, that the sight bases are integral with the barrel rib and not soldered on. Is that the case? DRSS | |||

Boy did I have a serious brain fart today. Was killing time in the Bass Pro here in Denver. Saw their fine firearms room. Figured it would give me a chance to see the Sabatti double rifles. Well looked everywhere then asked. He walked over and showed me a sxs 12ga. Then it hit me I was in Bass Pro not Cabella's. Least I got out without major egg on my face. I looked at the 12ga and thanked him for his time.  As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||
