I happened to in Big5 last night and noticed that they had an SPR310 12/28 in their rack. It had a sold tag on it, but I was able to look at, and shoulder it. I may have actually been fondling it a little much, as I heard a voice from the back/side room saying "Hey, you're not selling my gun are you?". It was the field model and had decent looking wood (sort of dark, with good grain). The wood was not super smooth & glossy, and was a little thick in the mating surfaces. However, I did not find it to be a problem for me. This was the first O/U that I've shouldered, and it felt pretty good. If these guns shoot as well and are as reliable as what I've read, it just might be the double I'm looking for. I can't afford a lot. Besides, I'm looking for a solid, dependable (field) gun, not something to just hang on the wall as a conversation piece. I need to find a shop that has both the 210 & 310 in stock to compare against each other.
