Dad got me a Westernfield 20 gauge bolt action, that I absolutely hated, because my Grandfather convinced me that a proper bird gun should have 2 barrels. Two years later I bought my own gun (SxS spanish 20 ga.) and Dad traded the bolt action for a Stevens for my younger brother. Fifteen years later, I was fortunate enough to inherit Grand Paps 16 gauge Steringworth and find out what good doubles was all about. I like bolt action rifles but have never touched a bolt action shotgun since the Westernfield.
