Not so much an afficianado, as well acquainted and appreciative... also love O/Us... never could afford one though... love the way they swing... could call on the English stock...

I'd never be able to bring myself to risk usin' a double for waterfowl... the potential for loss or damage is too great... I got an 870 SP Mag, 3 1/2" 24" bbl, and a rifled 20" bbl for deer... I've killed more critters than small pox with it...

Gnad: well, 300 posts later, both my double and my pump are stevens. Both well used when I got them. The 20 SXS was restocked english by an old timer I knew. Wood is stunning. Just a fortunate set of circumstances. The pump is 2 3/4 28 M plain jane. Just can't wear em out.
