Somehow, I just never thought my Win 37 16 in quite the same category as those two Brit hammer singles you picture. It kills stuff, especially with scatter loads, and it isn't too heavy. And I've certainly got good value out of it, considering I paid under $50 for a nice one about 30 years ago. But....I've never seen an American single made for hunting that comes close to those two for style and grace. Not a 37, not a "Lefever" "Long Range," nor a Sav 220. I like em all, but they aren't in the same league.

I do like the idea of "single shot hunts" tho. Talk about conservation! Talk about capturing the essence of the thing!
