Those SO series shotguns are marvelous. I personally do not own one, but have been lucky enough to bust a clay or two with one. I was in the market for a nice, heirloom quality O/U, but price of the SO's I looked at were far beyond my capabilities. I eventually settled down with a superb Browning Citori. I've had cheaper O/U's before, decent shooters, (2 Mossberg Silver Reserves), and now I understand why the nicer one's cost what the do. I've never shot a nicer O/U in my life, and could not be happier with my purchase. I think I treasure that thing more than my SAA's, and that's saying something. Good luck in your search and post pictures when you get it!
