Tell me something about Grey's...

Did they start pestering you with renewal notices before you even received your 2nd issue?
 
I have never subscribed because I am really not into fly fishing. I only buy a couple issues per year at the news stand. I love the "Bird Hunting Book" edition every year!
 
I'm in the market for an O/U myself, so I can go blasting Trap with the fellas. My concern is that, like others have pointed out, most O/U are overly expensive and very decorative. I just need a gun that shoots well and doesn't break in half when the action is opened. Sooo leaning towards the Savage 512 Stevens or something like the CZ O/U Canvasback, and hoping I don't get messed over by value vs. quality.

:confused: Or just hang it all and get a Benelli Supernova so I can outlast more than 2 Zombies.
 
Beaver Skin, I have to second Grouse Man's comments. Two of them!!

I have about 10 boxlocks and one sidelock right now. Passed up a BSS SL about three years ago and that was the dumbest move I've made since I got the SxS bug a few years ago. That and passing on an original condition Fox B grade from 1911 for less than $900. Oh well, your's look great.
 
I really love the BSS SL, they handle beautifully and and are a joy to shoot. I just wish Browning made them with a longer length of pull - I need to put some spacers under a slip over leather pad to get the length I need out of them.

I've learned the hard way about passing up on some guns that cross your path. Missed more than my fair share when the right gun came at the wrong time!

Here are some pics of my beretta 687 eell sporting. It's not a SXS but probably the nicest gun I'll ever own. The sun was almost down and the light being at such a low angle doesn't show the depth of figure in the wood. I've got some much better pics but I can't seem to locate them right now!!

It's not mine but a very, very good deal.

I have read that article too many times for my own good. Just reminds me of what I should have done!
 
A friend just dropped off his Beretta O/U and asked me to go trade it for a varmint rifle for him. I love trading buying and selling guns, so of course I agreed. I have not handled many over/unders like his and was intrigued. It is a very well built Beretta, but with out the usual "frills" - no ejector, no vent rib, double triggers. The "absent" features are what I consider a benefit to a hunter. I reload and and besides I don't like to litter, with extractors one does not need to search the grass for empties. A plain barrel without the basically useless vent rib almost universally pasted atop shotgun barrels is "clean" -nothing to catch weed seeds and dirt. The double triggers are especially nice for instant and practical barrel selection in hunting situations. Does anyone feel like me that most O/U field guns are too "dressed up" at the expense of functionality?

I know what you mean. That's why a SXS makes a better field gun.
