Frequently Asked Questions

How does a sealed bid auction work at Holt's?

At Holt's sealed bid auctions, you submit a single, final bid. Unlike progressive auctions, there's no back-and-forth. Your bid is what you're willing to pay, and if it's the highest, you win. Bids should be submitted early, as the first bid wins in case of a tie.

What are some key features of the SKB Model 805 shotgun?

The SKB Model 805 is a 12-gauge over-and-under from 2009, featuring side plates, a single trigger, 3-inch chambers, and multi-chokes. It's noted for its low profile action and a 15.75-inch stock, making it suitable for taller shooters, though it has a slight rearward balance due to an extension.

What makes the Fratelli Gamba Gold SP shotgun a good bargain?

The Fratelli Gamba Gold SP is a bargain due to its high-quality features, including a detachable trigger unit, for a price range of £250-£350. This unit, often found on much more expensive guns, drops out easily for maintenance, and the shotgun also boasts a solid lock-up and good overall build quality.

Are there any notable condition issues with the Browning GTI SUI reviewed?

Yes, the Browning GTI SUI reviewed has a loose top rib, a common issue on older 325-based models, and a cracked stock. These condition problems are reflected in its price, making it a potential bargain for someone willing to address these repairs.
