I love to shoot a double barrel, but that's just being an old fogey.
Modern autoloaders are very quick & smooth.

Only if you're a fan of the tradional hunt look.

I happen to like the appearance of a Tommy gun with the old cylindrical
50-round magazine on top. Businesslike. But not for carrying around out
in the woods... well maybe in some parts of the world, yes... but at
least not the woods near my house...

I'm not much of a fan of the double over'n under though....

My old H&H .500 Nitro Express was a double barrel rifle.


I've never shot an over/under 12g enough to get any feel for wether
they're different. It's been said that they have better alignment and
are easier to balance, but IMHO they just have a certain snob appeal
because they're usually much more expensive.

I have an Armalite over/under .410 with a .22, plastic stock, supposed
to be a "survival gun." It's a hoot. Cheap fun, too.
