Dickinson SxS

I looked into it once and contacted Dickinson US importer once in the states. They said a couple where imported to cabelas Canada and that was it. A few other shops imported some of there pumps and that was it. To bad as they seem like a nice double for the money.
I should add that these shotguns are made in Turkey by Akus, who also made the S&W elite gold and Kimber valier.

So if Cabela's has done it in the past then it could likely be done in the future but it's a matter of finding some one who is willing to do it and that may be the biggest stumbling block.

I've looked at the Dickinson guns in the US but only behind glass and I've never handled them. They look fairly well finished and I like the style but I don't know much about them other than that.
 
Didnt prophet river carry them at one time? Rhought they had hammered and hammerless at one time. I maybe mistaken. It was before they were advertising the huglu hammer guns
 
Pacific Sporting Arms East in Michigan has one. You could use Prophet River to import it for you.

Quite a number of guys on the Double Gun forums have bought them. All of whom have other, higher quality SxS. Almost universally they praise the Dickinson..... fit, finish and internal build quality. General consensus is the best value priced SxS on the market. Only complaint, with some regularity, is very heavy trigger pulls, right out of the box. A problem that is easily and quickly addressed by a competent smith.
 
Heavy triggers are unfortunately a fact of life these days and you just have to have them fixed or get used to them, I prefer to fix them!
Interestingly enough, Dickinson's are made in Huglu, Turkey by Akus who are the same people who made the Smith and Wesson Elite Gold and Kimber Valier which were both considered good guns. The color case hardening on the Dickson is done with bone and charcoal instead of cyanide like so many others these days. I think there is a lot to like here!
