I'm 55, have liked/used double guns since 1975. Went through some higher end AyAs, a couple BSSs, a Model 21 (too heavy), a Francotte (should have kept). The Piotti 16 stayed. I like many types, O/Us, A5s, M12s, as well.

I'm 57, first double was a Citori Sporter 20 ga. in 1983. My father-in-law gave my wife his SKB 280E in 20 ga. and using it got me interested in SxSs. First was a BSS Sporter 12 ga., a heavy gun. Later a BSS Sporter 20, Win. M-23 European 12, Win. M-21 16, recently an RBL 16. The last 4 all between 6-1/2 and 6-3/4 lbs. Oh yeah, not to forget, a closeout Parker Repro 28 ga. that feels like a toy to me. All are straight grip guns. Nothing I like better in life than following my springers with an upland double. Ruffed grouse are on the up cycle here in Minnesota; savoring it, probably just one more high cycle for me after this one.

I'll be 61 next sunday and got my first double at 22, but had a couple of pumps about five years prior to that. 62, and ought to be old enough to know better than to keep buying guns I don't need...Geo And Geo, we buy them because we want them not because we need them,  JC

Chuck, I suppose you are right, we do need them as a flower needs water and a kite the wind to fly. JC
