Double barrels

Can anyone tell me about those Chinese replica double barrels? I have seen them for 199.99 new. I know the quality can't be as good as real shotguns (Rem, Moss, Win, Beretta etc). But are they worth the price? Any info would be appreciated.

    I'm looking for bargins, mostly single shot breech guns. I've found thru the "school of hard knocks" that a Stevens "Dread Naught" wasn't such a great find. I've also found that a Winchester model 37 in 410 was a good find (had red letters). But I'm not so sure what names to be looking for in the older double barrels. Could aanyone maybe give me a top five or so?

    They are shootable, but since they are repros of older designs aimed at the cowboy action crowd, I would only shoot light loads in them.


    I would get the Remington spartan doubles as a better alternative.

    used 250-300 nib 325-400, wether its sxs or o/u. those are just ballpark figures around here. I have a sxs in the 28ga and just love it for small game. the lock up is real tight, fit and finish is not up there with the browning or weatherbys but neither is the price. I only shoot 1-2 boxes a year so I don't know how the hold up would be in the long run but for the price I love mine.
