New (to me) Over Unders

I have never really wanted an over under shotgun. I ran across these at a good price, and bought them both. They are Nikko 5000 12 Ga. One is bored skeet-skeet, the other IC-Mod
They shoot great.

Nikko

They were well made guns. Somewhat like a Winchester 101 and the early Browning Citori's. If you got them for a good price they'll last you a long time. BTW the engraved gold eagles were for the most part glued on except for some earlier guns. Keep a check on them.

8x56MS,

Nice photos of very nice guns. I got my first over/under in 1996 and wonder why I waited so long to buy one. I now have several and prefer them for sporting clays and trap.

I hunt with my pumps and gas guns and sometimes take an O/U afield.

Adam

I shot skeet for years with a Browning OU that had a set of Purbaugh tubes. It was a cut above my 1100's!
