20 gauge SxS vs O/U

If the good Lord had meant for man to shoot over & unders he would have positioned our eyes on top of each other -- so ha!

That was good...

According to the kool aid logic, if the plank fits, then swing it???

R.

Since you were talking about ground swatting birds then, technically, do you even have to swing it?

I was somewhat humbled this year when I bought a Hammerless single shot 28 gauge off the equipment exchange site this year. I thought it might be cool to try. This is a gun that cost $11.10 when it was made back in the day. The American version cheap farmer gun. First time out three Huns with four shots. Took it with on a five day pheasant, sharptail, Hun hunt. After shooting 60% or less with the Webley and Scott and Belgian SxS 16 gauges and having lots of action I switched to the single shot. My average went up closer to 90%. Partly gun fit, trigger pull and the subconscious idea that I only had one shot to take but it was a full choke. I still love side by sides but if the Stoeger or Huglu fits, shoot it. Don't judge a man by the number, position or cost of his barrels. But don't go looking too hard for those single shots either.

There is an article by Chris Batha in the September-October issue of Shooting Sportsman that compares SxS's & O/U's. A good read.

When I walk I use my h&r 20 gauge single shot.
