Agree. Probably because I have one o/u and about 6 sxs. A sxs carries easier too, because of the wider frame.
How About the More “Genteel” Side of Firearms?

Speaking of SxS:
I would love a turkey gun and it is definitely on my list. I keep telling my oldest boy that I will not go turkey hunting with him until I have a proper turkey gun.
Girlfriend has been dropping hints about shooting a wild turkey as she wants to see if they are better tasting than than a Butterball so I think there is a Rio Grand or maybe a Meriam (I hear they are GREAT this year in Oklahoma) hunt in my future. Might as well have a nice shotgun for the trip!
Ah, even across the pond we do have guns! Well shotguns in any case. These are our his&hers main clay guns, Caesar Guerini -- Mine is an Invictus V, hers is a Syren Magnus.
Dogs are fox red labs, trained to flush & retrieve. It's mom&son, sonny is 12 months old, and still learning the ropes!

Good looking puppies.
I'm not sure which I like more, the guns or the pups. Beautiful picture.
Owned several shotguns over the years. Remington 870 Express 12 Gauge, Remington 870 Wingmaster 20 Gauge, Beretta 686 12 Gauge, Browning Grand Citori 12 Gauge, and a few other Citori guns in 20 Gauge. All 26 inch barrels except one 24" custom Citori with english stock in 12 Gauge.
Me and the Mrs. putting dinner on the table, I think she is out of the photo.
Shot skeet, shot trap for a number of years including league. Had to give it up a few years back. Arthritic shoulder and a shoulder joint deterioration. Sold the last 20 Gauge Citori about a year ago? I think. Last firearm I thought to sell ever. A bird killer if ever there was one. Fit like a glove. Same Citori in the photo above. But after watching it sit in the safe for a few years I knew the shotgun would never make the field again in my hands. Someone else is enjoying it now.
Lot of great memories though.

I think I will take back anything bad I’ve said about side by sides- those are beautiful
That's just plain ugly!!!
May have to bust out the straight razor this weekend.
I am not a SxS guy, but that is beautiful. Making a guess here...Is it a Merkel?

No It is a AYA #1, round action, self opening. I had a merkel O/U for a while tho, but it was really not fitting so passed it on...
What a wonderful breed, those labs. And I love the shape of the European lab's head. I love Caesar Guerini, but I suck at clays. Me buying a Caesar Guerini would be like a 80 year old lady buying a Ferrari. A Browning Citori CXS is more my speed. The pic below is mine right after I took it out of the box.
