There have been posts on other gun related web sites and chat rooms saying the highlander model has been scraped. truth or rumor?

Unfortunately this is the truth. We received a letter from Benelli USA regarding the cancellation of the Highlander program. It sucks because we had many customers interested in a nice side by side, since the Ruger will most likely be a failure, assuming it is ever released. I'm not sure why they scrapped it, because our rep had said that they were forever backordered.

I must say this is very disapointing.Both the highlander and the Ruger have generated more interest on the web than any models in recent memory.I for one have put off purchasing a new shotgun in anticipation of one or both of these new models coming out. Has there been any reason given for the cancellation of the highlander model?

I talked to our rep again today and he didn't really give a reason. I think its mainly the cost and the time to produce them. I don't really understand that because they have been made forever but now no one can make an upscale S/S. I really don't think the ruger will ever be released because they are having enough trouble keeping their new over unders working.
