Chances R, This one is a later model "12 gauge". I'm looking for a 20 gauge "Silver Snipe" from the 1960s. Thanks for the heads up anyway.

Not a single Silver Snipe (20 ga or otherwise) came up with a gunbroker.com search. That's going to be a tough find. I had a 12 ga Silver Snipe back in 1987. That was the first and last one I ever saw. I wish you luck with your search. If you come across a Browning Citori or Beretta 686 in 20 ga, you might buy them to get you by while you continue your Silver Snipe 'hunt'.

I know of a guy that is in poor health that very well may never pull a trigger again.  He has a SKB , grade unknown, but I believe it’s the top grade.  But he has all the different gauges that fit the receiver, 12, 20, 28, and I believe .410.  This could be the answer to all your request.  Not cheap as they are no longer manufactured that I know of, but what a score that would be. If he decides to sale, you will have to out bid me.  I have one and many years ago I was walking to my position in a dove field.  Someone yelled high bird and no one shot at it.  I took one shot and downed the bird.  The guy standing next to me ask, “Is that a shotgun or an antiaircraft gun”.  I just grinned and walked on.

I’ve been looking for a Remington 3200. Hope you have better luck than me, if you go down the road of looking for an older gun that’s not beat to pieces and are wanting to keep all your limbs.

I prefer the look and feel of a side by side, but seem to shoot an over/under better.

To me my O/U shoots more like a single barrel, only twice.

I have a Ruger Red Label, 20 gauge, since about 1982. I LOVE that firearm! When you are upland hunting, it light and accurate.  Having only 2 shells was more then enough for me. It wasn't about filling the bag. It, for me, was about walking a field with my dad and or friend spending quality time. 

Just my two shell's.  See what a t i did there. LOL.

I have been hunting strictly with O/U's for small game and waterfowl for 25 years.  I wouldn't use anything else.  If you don't hit them with the first 2 shots, you are not going to hit them with the 3rd.  Its probably paid for itself with the money I saved on not taking wasted 3rd shots with duck hunting alone.

My dad really enjoys his o/u by Holland and Holland. Believe he bought it before they cost the price of a car, lol.

A little late to the party on this but I would do all I could to get a beretta 68X or Citori. I prefer the Beretta due to the feel of the forearm. It’s a little slimmer and less blocky.
