Hey everyone,
Earlier in the year I posted I was looking for a 20 or 16 gauge SxS shotgun. I've been looking around and I found a new in box Iside Prestige in 12 gauge for 2 grand. Single trigger, pretty good wood, 5 chokes...everything that I wanted...except the gauge. I'm not against 12 gauges at all and since I mostly pheasant hunt, a 12 gauge would be a useful tool in the field. However, the advertised weight is at 6.6 lbs. and I've noticed that many guns come in over advertised weight. Now, if the gun actually weighed 6.6 lbs, that would be adequate for a 12 gauge. But, if the actual weight is closer to 7lbs or over, I'm not sure I would be too interested. For those of you that own an Iside, have you weighed the gun and compared it to the advertised weight and if so, how close were they? Anything you don't like about the Iside? How do you like the concave rib? Is there a gun you can compare the sight plane to? For example, I find the Iside and the ______________ to have a similar fit. How do you feel about the 2 grand price point for the prestige with side plates? I appreciate your comments and suggestions.
