My father got me hooked on side bys. He a German 16 gauge made by August Schuller. He used it for trap, skeet, and dove and quail hunting. He didn't miss that often. The dang thing balanced beautifully. I had my eye on the Zephyr Woodlander, that was imported by SToeger's, and then a French 16 gauge that was imported by Ye Olde Hunter. Ended up buying a Browning Superposed Great gun, but it was big. I had two side bys after it. His 16 and a Bernardelli 20 gauge Series Uberto I. They seemed as if they were an extension of my arm. I don't see that with an over and under. I know trap shooters shoot over and unders. I am buying a Model 21 trap gun. I know I will be looked upon as a weirdo, but I just like side bys.
