I ask because we've been offerred a few by a distributor at, what appears to be a good price. We could offer the 20's as low as $2199. Not really being an expert on Italian sg's, I'm debating whether to take a few or not.

That'd be a VERY good deal for customers in view of the current price that I've observed.

We have been offerred 20 gauge with both Nickel and color case with 26" barrels and 12's with the nickel and 28" barrels. 12's would be a little more money.

What would one expect to pay retail?

We decided to try a few; we have one 12 Nickel receiver and three 20 gauge case colored receivers coming. We paid a little more for some, depending on grade of wood but starting price will be $2199 for a 20 gauge. I'll be getting pics of the wood sent to me ASAP and I'll post them on the EE.

OK; we received the pics. We've got them on the EE.

Nope, gotta be a Franchi, I'm kinda fond of the Italians ( married one, too!)
The LC Smith is OEM in Turkey, no?

I would say that SakoAlberta's indicated price is certainly the most competitive at this time (and no, I've no affiliation with this establishment nor have I purchased anything from them
) The 28ga LC Smith is made by Zabala (Spain). Believe the 12/20 are still made in Italy. You may note, the 28 weighs around the same as the 12ga.

Hopefully, that changes in the near future?!
So, those of you who are shotgun experts, are these really a 'fine' gun? What other brands are comparible? I've held a Ruger Gold label but it seemed like a plain ordinary gun for something thatwas going for around $2500. Is this a better gun than the Ruger? Who else (I see Epps has one) would have a good selection so I could compare? Thanks!
