Well, there's plenty I like:

- Vintage English and modern Italian side by sides
- Sidelocks: hammerless or hammergun
- Boxlocks: either round actions, Westley Richards' droplock, or scalloped actions
- Prefer 20 gauge guns, but 12 is fine too
- Barrels: 28-30 inches, fluid steel or damascus (I really like to see damascus on hammerguns)
- Stock: Nice marbled figure in the wood, English grip
- Engraving: Prefer a nice delicate scroll pattern like Holland's Royal scroll or Purdey's rose and scroll.
