Shotguns

Personally I could never shoot a SXS very well. Oh I had a few that were ok.. Neat on a quail shoot..but I really was so quick on a covey rise 2 shots just didn't cut it too well. Course i was young and young'uns always want to shoot more. Had a Win M-21 or 3 that I shot ok 12 16 and a 20..had a 410 but never shot it. I also used a Stevens 311 in 16 ga for one season when they went to steel shot. I could still shoot an ounce and a quarter with the 16 but it was again..a 2 shooter. I was guiding and actually needed 3 shots. The double triggers were a pain too. I had a really nice double gun with 2 sets of bbls. Bought it at the Grand one year. Had a set of 32 Inch trap bbls and a set of 26 inch skeet bbls. Miller Single trigger and I shot it great(at skeet) but someone paid me too much money to think about keeping it. It was a Fox SxS made in the mid 30's.. Had a bit of recoil too. Only SXS I have now is an old Parker 12 ga D grade A Win 21 20 ga bird gun and an Ithaca 28 ga..Also made in the 30's
