Hi bobski,

 

I've only shot 2 rounds of skeet in my life, both with my brother when he got out of the Navy.  He'd been on a hospital ship off the coast of Vietnam and they went into Subic Bay on a regular basis.  While there, he shot skeet with a Browning A5 20 gauge he bought there (Belgian model).

 

When he got out, he decided to show me how good he was as I always could outshoot him and he knew I'd never shot skeet, so we went to the nearest range, which was around 40 miles away and broke out the guns, he his Auto 5 and me, a Savage 311 20 Gauge with 2 triggers.  The guy who ran the range told me I'd have trouble switching triggers fast enough, but I shot anyway.

 

I got 21 the first round and 23 the second round.  My brother got 20 and 21.

 

He never shot skeet with me again.

 

Nice gun.  The gun who runs out local Clays course (wobble trap, regular trap, 5 stand and Sporting Clays) regularly brings in different guns he owns, and a number of them have barrel sets like yours.

 

Very nice and very expensive, I'm sure.

 

As a side note, I can type 80 wpm again on this board, so someone's been fixing it.

3200's are amazingly cheap in light of what a typical berretta a400 costs. heck, some plain skeet 3200's can be had used for 900.

they only made 880 4 bbl sets, which pumps them up a little.

 

btw...i shot my first game of skeet in subic!

I wonder if you ever ran into my brother there?  He was there on and off for a year, and that year was 1968.
