Saw this on GB. Not interested myself but thought someone might be.https://www.gunbroker.com/Item/757784067.
I did verify it is a 16 despite what the one picture says. Is the price reasonable?Is this considered a quality gun? |

Savage16, I have a Robust #3 in 16 ga. It has 26" barrels and weighs in at 5lbs, 13 oz's.
It is a little wand, well made, and hell for stout.
Is it considered a "quality" gun? Beats the hell out of me.
I paid more than what they are asking in the starting price for mine a few years ago, I would buy it again.
If a person likes sxs's and dependability, it is more than worthy to consider.

Well made hunting guns. 950,000 made between roughly 1920
And 1985. Mostly field grades but some higher grades.

No knowledge of the gun but I have bought guns from Shooting Investments and in those transactions have found them to be easy to work with and the guns were as described. Just an FYI.

Yes, I snagged it. Do I "need" it, hell no, but it is cool. It's choked full and mod and it has 2.5" chambers and what looks to be about 3/8" cast off. Weighs 6lbs, 2oz and doesn't appear to have been used much. Bores are nice and it has the sling in the stock. There are a couple of rust spots on the barrels but overall it's in pretty good shape for a gun from the 50's. (As near as I can tell). It feels nice coming to the shoulder and depending on how I shoot it, it could do some duty in the pheasant fields next year.
