vole Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Nice looking gun.I remember a review of a Winchester sbs in ? November 06 in one of the big shooting magazines.Tha gyst of the review was that it had a very raised rib for a sbs and was described as being a bit of a hybrid between a field and sporting gun.Anyone else recall?

JRDS Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 The raised rib gives a sight picture similar to an O/U. If you swapped it for an O/U you would not be upgrading but changing as an O/U is simply different to a SBS not necessarily better. Value as in all thing SH depends on condition so if you can't post a picture and accuate description it is hard to put a value on it. I have shot a friends and personally thought it was a great gun and something a little different.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the article, although cant remember which mag it was in? I think they just said something along the lines of having similiar charachteristics and handling to an ou.

JRDS Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Sounds like a Sporting Gun article to me, testing a SH gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 If it is the raised rib type, you are probably looking at £600. It has no pistol grip, which makes me think it might be one of the later ones. They had no pistol grip, no raised rib and were not as saleable. Looks in decent nick, especially cased.

tomjampea Posted July 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 The gun is the raised rib type It also has single trigger if that helps to date it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
