When I was young I was happy to have any hand me down or inexpensive set of traps I could get my hands on. 20 yrs ago I started investing in better gear and I have never regretted it.
I am a huge fan of both the Montanas and MBs and bobcat specific I find the Sleepy Creeks to be easily my fav. Something to consider anyway

After 55+ years on the line I can say Victors without a doubt. I have been using modified 3N's as one of my bread-and-butter traps for years. Roy

What about the dukes do you not like? I drilled out the pans and post and put in brass screws and night latched. Pan sits low. Pan sits too high for what I want ,leavers are stupid long and don't come up as much as I need for this project

I do not own any #3 victors but if they are better than the #3 dukes they would be amazing. Mine (d-3) have the extra springs on them and use them for coyotes and beaver. I dont care which foot the beaver puts in they are caught. I trapped with a very experienced beaver trapper and he said that we went 85 hits without a pull out. I can not think of a pull out since. Now I had the #4 Dukes and the bridger #3 ( they are very similar) before them and we had too many pull outs with them. I like the D-3's, mine go chain direct to superstakes with two swivels......jk
