Do U find early non-SxS's interesting?
Just wondering if you guys find non-SXS's from the say 1895 to the 1920's interesting, collectible and fun to shoot?? Guns like the 1897 Winchester, Model 10 and 11 Remington, 1912 Winchester etc. These guns killed the double gun for many reasons. I find the John Browning designed guns to be the most interesting, he was an amazing inventor and in many ways his designs have not been substantially improved upon. Besides our beloved Parkers, AH Fox. Lefever and LC Smiths which were all the result of inventing genius you have to recognize the non-SxS's of the period.
I also think the Vintagers etc. should start promoting shoots for non-SxS's from the golden era. I believe if open to vintage autos and pumps the vintage shoots would attract more folks.
What say you?? My favorite non-SxS is the Remington Automatic shotgun that became the Model 11. The action on a Model 11 is the perfect canvas for engraving.
