I hunted my whole life with doubles, the cheap ones. I wanted a old one - bought a 1889 Remington which I proceeded to blow up [ loaded PB thinking it was Pyrodex - 94grs - 22,000psi ]. The week before I was looking at a Parker hammer gun. I drove two hours to buy it. I still have it and shoot it very well. It only cost me $750 and that was about 12 years ago. It has laminate barrels and I had Bachelder redo them. It has a very interesting pattern. The scar on my arm [ 23 stiches ] is a reminder to always double check what powder I'm using.
