European guns give you more bang for the buck especiallu in 16 ga., lighter and less drop in their stocks better for upland shooting. I have a Bernadelli Hemingway and Webley and Scott I'm going to sell both in 12 ga. I'm a 16 ga. addict.


No matter where you go or what you do there you are! Yes tis true and tis pity but pity tis, tis true.

The Miroku SxS bar-action sidelock with chopper lumps,
was a very well made and great value weapon when released in the 1980s.

they pull extremely good dollars on the used market,.. much much more than they originally cost.

I too favor .35 cal rifles for hunting and side by side's with double triggers for shotguns!

First find what shells and shot are legal for your area and get a gun that handles them.

Go to the gunshops in your area and handle the shotguns that interest you.

I shot the most pheasants with my 16 ga drilling but here in CT I can't carry a rifle everywhere so I got a 20 ga Bernadelli that's really sweet. Then I lucked into an Ugarthechea 20 ga as well. I am in high clover SXS wise and they hit really well.

With this internet you can shop right now on nets classifieds and auctions.

Here are my 20ga SxS shotguns.

Select a shotgun that you have held up yourself and that fits you!

Don't 'order' one that might fit you!



The Bernadelli is on the left. The Ugartechea is my new favorite. I got it recently for only $400. You don't need to spend $5000! You can get a drilling, shotguns and have money left over for that much.

Side by side double

If your first side X side is an SKB, it's likely also be your last.

Extremely fine guns......and for about $2,500 they should be.

They can be found at www.skbshotguns.com

look hard at the HR models (high rib)
