I am looking for a 10g SxS with ejectors, a 32" or longer barrel, dual triggers and internal hammers. Is there such a beast? I could have sworn I saw one in the EE about 2 years ago, looked like it had rifle sights on it. No, it wasn't a double rifle... Any idea if such a shotgun was ever made? I don't care about the sights but everything else is desirable.
Looking for a 10g SxS with Specific Features, Does This Beast Exist?

Yes. Interarms offered it at one time. I have a lower grade version without ejectors. Mine is a doublewing. 32" extractor sxs. Pistol grip walnut stock with beavertail forend. Blued. Very simple gun weighing in at 11lbs 6oz. The version above it had rolled engraving coin finish and ejectors. I can not recall the model name but had read about it when researching mine
Spanish guns would likely be most common and most affordable. The suggestion of aya is good. Ive seen some of their 10ga guns and if i hadnt already had mine i would have gladly bought the ayas ive seen as theyre more pleasing to look at

Tons were made in that exact configuration. Been out of fashion for decades so most of what gets put up for sale tends to be of the vintage variety. They aren't hard to find and if you find the right one, they aren't hard to bring up from the US, if that's where you find the one you want. You however, will have to decide if the cost of entry to that game is worth it to you.

I sold one 2 weeks ago that was exactly like you are looking for. Yes, it had ejectors, double triggers and 32" barrels. Thing is, it was circa 1890! Great shooting condition though.

Found an AYA with 32" barrels, double triggers and ejectors. Looks like 3 1/2" chambers and looks like made in 2001. PM sent.
Depending on if you are in a hurry or not, if you don’t have time start searching on gunbroker or guns international. American sites. US dollars. $200 to import.
If you have time just start looking around Canada. The EE, Epps, Canadian auctions etc.

If you dig around old British waterfowling books u can find reference to the three inch British 10 gauge.
Lack of SAAMI spec ammunition and chamber dimensions add even more confusion.
For example I have a Parkhurst black powder ten gauge 2 7/8 chamber.
And a Suhl and Son drilling in 10x10x45-70 also BP 2 7/8 inch chamber. However this shotgun has a much tighter chamber dimension than the Parkhurst and I cannot use Parkhurst loaded shells into this drilling.
Yet I also own a 1901 Winchester 10 gauge smokeless 2 7/8 that will readily accept any 2 7/8 inch shell.
Wonders never cease.
If you find a Spanish or Italian 10 gauge made from the 60s till now, it will almost always be 3.5 inch. I have never seen one from that time frame with short chambers. Up here, you will run into English 10 gauges with short chambers along with the occasional American gun. You will see 2 5/8, 2 7/8, and 3 inch chambered guns. In my experience, 2 5/8 and 2 7/8 are the two most common short chambers. The SxS 10s are a hoot.

A little bit on the heavy side 10.5 unloaded.
No sling swivels so it's African carry trecking down the road. I had the chokes opened up. I am not really certain this was a good idea !?!?
But I kind of had it done upon gunsmiths advice.
A CGNer put me on the path to one but unfortunately so far the seller isn't responding. My intention here is to load very heavy slugs. Unfortunately for me NEI is long out of business, they had a 1080 grain mold I was interested in. Ah well, I am sure I will figure something out.
