Browning Double Auto

There are a few of us here that love them, but far and away the best site is the browning forum at shotgunworld.com. Doug, AMG and a few others have collections of double auto's we could only dream of!! Doug has actually helped me on buying a couple via e-mail. Great folks there.

I have seen quite a few for sale over the years, could never quite figure out why they were invented. I could have bought several for less than $300 but passed since they seem to have combined the ungainly lines and handling of a semi with the 2 shot limitations of a double, without a double's style and classic handling qualities. I prefer 3 shooters or real doubles. But some people must love them, what is the appeal? Please enlighten me.

I have a black one and a silver one.
I like them , mostly for their history.

balance for one longwalker. Without the need for a mag tube, they had been able to balance the gun perfectly. The idea behind Val Browning's idea I think was far ahead of it's time. Not everyone could afford a superposed back in the day, so the 2 shot design put the double auto even with the superposed shot wise. They are all handmade, light, balanced shotguns.

OK thanks for enlightening me. If they delivered the handling qualities of a double that is a real plus for the design, but I think I'll stick with double barrels myself.
i always make sure to take it on a grouse trip a couple times a season, its so nice to carry all day, it some what suprises me that nobody else makes something like this now, or even browning re-releasing it, its such a balanced gun.
I've got a Twelvette. Only autoloader that I've found that feels like a double, but that said I prefer O/Us. I haven't shot it in years.
You can take the barrel off faster than you can say "take the barrel off", and it may be lightest recoiling 12 I own. Many of them found a home in the clay target games, back in the day.

I have 3 and like them very much. My favourite has the steel reciever with a Cutts comp. Very nice shooting gun . I only use it for sporting clays but it does a great job when I do my part. Most folks who have used mine like it very much. If you find one, I don't think you will be sorry if you buy it.
