Are the SKB side by sides fairly durable guns?
They are every bit as durable as any Browning.

I ask because I like the gun so much that I have reduced the amount I shoot it at skeet to make sure it does not get loose. Wise move, or unnecessary precaution?

Totally unnecessary.. I'm pretty sure I have over 10,000 rounds through my 85TSS un-single and I've not had a single failure of any kind.. Another one, a M700 has well over 10K rounds through it and only shows a little discoloration of the receiver through use.. I've replaced one trigger return spring, one sear and one sear spring on it to date..

I love my SKB's....
The 685s are sweet.. I have a 3-barrel skeet set in the M685.. [Linked Image]
