A Bit of a Poll

Even thow I like my parkers and foxes theres just something about those English doubles.

[C.O.B.]

I must agree Wayne. Last year at Hausmanns I bought a lovely boxlock 20 ga Charles Boswell. It has 28 inch damascuss barrels, ejectors, straight grip and weigh just a tad over 5lbs. It's a little lighter than a H&H 20 w/26 inch bbls also purchased at Hausmanns the year befor.

I grew up shooting British and American doubles . And for years I held British stuff in higher esteem . I have since learned the error of my ways . Although I gotta say for sentimental reasons I still hold my 1881 W&C Scott hammerless 10 gauge in the highest regard of any of my shotguns .

That 10 gauge will most likely be buried with me as I have no related male heirs to leave it to .

Ill call you my Pa if you leave it to me

On the 10 bores it seams like you could get either regular barrels or heavy walled barrels . theres a "cheap" wc scott 8 bore shotgn on gun broker right now . think since it was blued it must have lost most of its value . I love my 10 bores regardless of make. This bonehill is my 4th 10 bore but first sxs .

My Charles Boswell 20 is fast becoming my favorite Grouse gun. I like it better than the H&H 20 The wood on the H&H is much much nicer however

I shot a purdey 20 ga sidelock that I didn't like . the triggers were angled to the right , and im left handed . The owner he loved it though 24k gold is too flashy for me .

Craig cant blame you I want to be buried with most of my guns I own at that time or at least my favorite .

My maternal grandfather owned that Scott for 50-60 years before I got it after his death . So I don't want it to leave the family and if that means going in the ground with me then so be it .
