I know there are a few out there, but want I would like to know how many fellas actually hunt with their SXS's?

I have more than a couple, but there are only four that I hunt with.
A 16 gauge underlever, and Chance and Sons 12 muzzle loader, and the Westely Richards 2 1/2" 12.
Oh, and My original Remington 16 gauge BP shotgun.

Anybody else enjoy SXS's?

My dad has an Ithica 12 guage SxS, haven't hunted with it yet but I will. When I get my own shotgun it will be a SxS.

I use my coach gun for grouse all the time. Its very handy in the thick stuff. I just picked up a Jansen and sons hammer double with steel bbls and can't wait to try the old girl out. I am the odd man out with the only SxS in the group up here

Its all I will shoot now.

i was going to buy the beretta 471 last week but the one that wholesales had had a chip on the the checkering. but i would love to buy one. i hunted last year with a spanish made ibargun 12 gauge sxs. but i broke the stock and the forearm is damaged. If anyone has a stock and forearm for this gun i will buy it if anyone is interested.

Picked up a 1947 vintage L.C.Smith Featherweight field grade 12 gauge last fall. What a joy to carry!! Is tied with my Browning Citori upland special 20ga for upland hunting!! If I get it refinished it should take the top spot...
