Just curious. You never said what classic double gun you are using for hunting? Parker, Fox, LeFever, Ithaca? Or something from across the pond?

Hope you get a lot of birds and be safe.

Hi Frank, I just pulled the trigger on my first sxs, a few days ago, it's a little 20 ga francotte that seemed like a great deal for what I was looking for. Great shape, but with some stock modifications that I think will suit me well (and made it more affordable). So, maybe not a "classic" by everyone's standards but a neat old double that I think *should* be a superb G/W gun for me. She will be fed a strict diet of RST/comparable low pressure shells, whatever is suitable once barrels and everything are checked out.

The process of researching/shopping for the gun has been a real journey that's just begun, and the more I learn, the more I realize it's less and less about "my next bird gun"....
