If you were to buy a new(to you) SxS for hunting.
I have been debating the thought of picking up a nice SxS for all round hunting, shooting clays, etc sort of use. One that is capable of shooting most modern loads, and can take a bit of heavy use. I am ok if it is not capable of shooting steel shot as I can find bisthmuth if I have to.
Let's say the budget was $4000 to 5000(I am ok with less than that), what guns would you all be look'ing at. I currently own a handful of Older American made guns, 16's and 12's. I flip flop alot between 12 or 20ga for this new gun...... Guns I have considered, CSMC - RBL, Parker Repros, Classic Doubles guns, New savage fox A grade, etc.... But, am open to anything that is well made, and looks nice. 28" barrels is my preference, but would consider 30's. |
Call me crazy, but a 16g Trojan in 28" choked M/F will kill anything you need, and with spreader loads will smoke clays too. They are the sleeper gun if you ask me (16g)

For all-around shooting I would opt for an original Parker with 28" barrels from DH down to VH or even Trojan. You can get one helluva nice steel-barreled or Damascus-barreled Parker in your price range. But that's just me - a dyed-in-the-wool Parker guy.

I think you need a Parker Repro, Sporting Clays Classic. One gun, 28 inch barrels, multiple choke options, and shoots anything you can buy, including steel. Good luck finding one, though.

My go-to hunting gun is a 1925 VHE; 26" Vulcan barrels choked Skeet, Imp Mod. I have used it for most everything from ducks to doves to clays. I do shy away from extra heavy loads, but do use the rio elites often.

You might look into a Winchester Model 21 a 12ga especially with double trigger's will fall into your price range and you can shoot anything except steel.

Good grief! What kind of monster birds do you expect to shoot with those loads?? Pass shooting Eiders or high-flying geese? :shock: . |
