:welcome2:

Glad you made it DakotaBoy!!

Double barrels you say? I only have one... I got it when I was 18. It's a Boito from Brazil. Picked it up for $140 at a little Gunshop up in Northern Wisconsin. You would love it. I'll bring it out next spring for you to try. :vcool:

Here's some pics of it....

Welcome, I have been accumulating doubles for years, but as they aren't milsurps I never took pics of them. 10 gauges, 12, 16, 20, and .410, got them all. Hammer guns, percussion guns, hammerless, sidelock, boxlock, all sorts.
Here is a friend of mine shooting a modern 12 gauge coach gun hammerless double

That's all the pics I have at the moment, I will see what I can find tomorrow.

I think a coachgun would be fun, but if I get a chance to get a sxs my first may be about 28" barrels, but then again who knows. Dakotaboy, glad you found you way here. :P

Here's one I've been bringing back to life. It's only partially restored but is coming along. It's a Stevens Savage 311E SeriesH from about 1981. You can find them for about $250+ if you look around and they're a nice gun.

A couple of weeks ago, Cabela's had two over/under 12 ga. on the used rack. Both were in the $250 range. I was tempted to take 'em both home, but talked myself out of it. I went back the following week-end after reconsidering all week and of course they were both gone. I've never shot an over/under and it would have been fun to try one out.
