Gordon R Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 They have just started to stock these again in the country. Very well made gun with a substantial lock-up. Nearly bought one a few weeks ago. Depreciation on a new gun put me off. That was a new Trap 30" multi for just under £800. A minter around £500 would have had me reaching for my wallet.

tweedledee Posted November 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 gordon i know the chap paid nearly 1200 quid for it and it`s up for 700 quid. have to say it oozes quality and i`m considering buying it. it`s miles in front of any bettinsoli or lanber etc. read somewhere that miroku had a say in the company that builds them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 I had heard that SKB had gone bust, very hard to find info on the actual factory. I have a BSA SxS which was made by SKB it was made in 1967 IIRC so has lasted well...They have some "followers" in the states where more info is about. http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewforum.php?f=114 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
