 Hi all, just was wondering about these SxS's, when compared to the Tristar Brittany Classic the BSA Royal Classic looks the same. I wonder if they are the same model? I know that they were made by Zabala and Bill Hanus offered them for awhile. Whats the scoop on them good, bad or what?
Thanks!!!

| Zabala guns tend to be iffy in the quality control dept. especially with bore regulation and uniformity. I've seen some with .010" difference in the bores on a set of barrels. This might or might not be a problem with fixed chokes, but it plays hell with choke tubed guns. The guns tend to be heavy too. The BSA classic is nearly 7-1/2 pounds. Single selective triggers on Zabala guns can be problematic too. So its a roll of the dice. The BSA Classic has been discontinued. EAA, the importer no longer handles BSA shotguns. As far as I know, they are not currently being imported, so service might be non-existant. IMO, you are really rolling the dice here. |

| Best bet is to pony up for a quality shotgun and bypass the ones in your thread |
