Smokepole,I appreciate your condolences about my Stalker 270 LOL..I'm going to wait until I get the 270 back before I go to the range and try them out.I'm sure they will be good shooters.I have to agree about the older Browning shotguns made in Belgium. They were fine shotguns no doubt. I have a A-5 3" mag Belgium as NIB.I did find one rust spot or should I say spec on the receiver about the size of a pin head.It was probably on it when I bought it and never noticed it.It came with a 28" Modified barrel. A friend had a 30" Full Choke (Belgium)and wanted the 28". We traded barrels. Except for the barrel being fired my gun is unfired.Ruger makes some nice doubles but a little to rich for my pocket.Two grand for a SxS is a little much.I guess the Japanese Browning's are okay,but I just can't swallow Made in Japan on a Browning.
