What modern SxS shot guns do you like.

If you could choose any Side by Side modern shotgun for less than $5000, What would it be? I am talking about shotguns that are made today and not ones that are not made any more. I would choose a Merkel .

From what I've read about the Merkel, I would have to agree with you. The value/$$ is said to be excellent.

The RBL series.

Dean Romig · 01-14-2011, 08:58 AM

I agree John but the RBL is way over $3000 now.

I'd be considering a little 28-ga. AyA #2 case-colored round-action with 28" bbls.

Big D · 01-14-2011, 10:04 AM

Dean. Agree, but the question was $5000

Dean Romig · 01-14-2011, 10:14 AM

I'm sorry, could have sworn I read $3000

Age.....

You did read $3000. I changed it when I relized I put in the wrong amount.

There's a real example of inflation

And not a used but "sea-worthy" vintage double- and for me that means a side-by-side,. NOT an O/U-- I would take gun writer Terry Wieland's recommendation and buy a top quality Spanish made version of a London H&H- no detachable sidelocks- no copulating Cupids around a fountain as some of the fine Italian makers off, no carved leapfrogging elk in the Black Forest as the Germanic embellishments often wander into

Just rose and scroll engraving, case colored, blue and fine grained walnut-DT, EJ, straight hand grip with no case, splinter FE with Anson push rod release, 28" barrels with 2 & 3/4" chambers choked Imp. Cyl. and Imp. Mod- hinged front trigger, std. auto safety and a 14 & 1/2" LOP to a leather covered pad-

Can I get all this for 5K or less?
