A nice shotgun is a work of art a good rifle is more an engineering exercise.

Waldo so true about a shotgun being a work of art, somehow wood and steel have been combined to create a gun which just balances, fits and will hit whatever it's pointed at and usually when it's moving. Personally I want a round action sxs. Maker I'm not too concerned about at least until I come into an unusually large amount of money.

its funny how we see the same thing but see it so differently. The engineering and precision is the attractive thing about a rifle while to me, a shotgun looks like two drain pipes to spray things with

I like a nice rifle but if funds no issue I would spend up big on a shotgun. A nice shotgun is an extension of your body and when you throw to your shoulder what ever you look at gets hit. Rifle all precision aiming a good shotgun is all feel. I can look at Rifles and drool over it but I have to have a shotgun too my shoulder before the drool starts :lol:

Good to see a few dedicated shotgunners on AHN, variety certainly is the spice of life and there is more than one way of putting varmints on the ground 8)

Nice to see some also enjoy the finer aspects of the SxS configuration and fine headware 8) 8)

Cheers,

I thought long and drooled about the new Beretta Parallelo but budget just kinda got in the way and preferred to throw the money into a new competition UO instead. Very happy with what I have though and knocking over a few ducks this season with the SxS, the Vizsla and my Barbour flat cap was a highlight of this years hunting :D :D 8) 8)

Oops I am on a fair few drugs currently.
That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
Now back to laying on the couch feeling sorry for myself....
