I don't normally read gun mags since I find them extremely opinionated and far too focused on numbers (the .222rem is a dead and obsolete caliber apparently  )However I found this article online and I am not sure if it has been posted here (did a quick search and nothing came up) so here you go: Click me to read! All the valid arguments for owning a double without any obsessive thought on velocities and paper numbers. Good stuff. ________________________________ Si vis pacem, para bellum. | ||

I agree with Will. Not to digress, but Terry W. (and Craig B.) epitomize opinionated and biased, from my point if view. And they're both huge fans/in-the-pocket-of of Kalifornia Rigby, which is enough to make anyone question their judgement.

I concur, however its rare to find a positive piece on doubles in mainstream gun magazines so I shared it "as is" . All gun writers who write for profit are biased purely by default. Its hard to take a review seriously when they have ads of the company of the firearm they are reviewing on the adjacent page.  Nonetheless I found this article (regardless of who wrote it) entertaining, never said I was a fan of the mag or the author.

F2F, that is certainly fair enough for me. It is especialy nice to see doubles mentioned in the context of US hunting too.

The site is blocked where I am (Saudi). Can someone email me the article? I'd enjy reading even a bad article about DR's. I picked up a copy of Terry Wieland's book while back in Texas for a short leave last month. Brazos Jack | |||
