Up for your consideration is a very handy and nimble AYA No. 2 hammerless sidelock SxS shotgun in 20 Gauge in gorgeous condition. Q1 date stamp indicates a manufacture date of 1972.

This 20-bore is perfectly suited for the upland field with 28" barrels, 2-3/4" chambers, great choking (IC/Mod), great dimensions, and comes in at a very light 5lb-14oz!

The stock is an English style straight stock of nice straight-grain figured walnut with checkered butt, nickel stock oval and splinter forend.

The gun also has a Rolled edge, long tang trigger guard and Hand detachable locks.

The receiver boasts deep full-coverage intricate scroll engraving which was done by hand, typical of the No.2.

Metal condition is excellent with exceptional case color and bluing. Only very light finish wear on metal edges, typical of very light use. Bores are also excellent and bright.

Wood condition is very good with some minor handling marks, but no cracks, deep gouges, etc. Wood finish is intact.

LOP: 14-3/4" (front trigger to checkered butt)
DAC: 1-1/2"
DAH: 2-7/16"
Cast: Neutral
Barrels: 28" chopper lump barrels with game rib
Chokes: IC/MOD


$3750 shipped to your FFL.

Offers are certainly welcome, so please do not hesitate to reach out!

Happy to provide additional photos upon request as well.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
