My addiction with doubles started as a young man who couldn't afford, but nevertheless lusted after a Model 21 Winchester 20 gauge shotgun. Settled on a Model 23 Win which I could afford as 1st SxS, but I never really fell in love. For years I hunted with a Browning super which I really did love, but I still lusted for the Model 21. Later, I finally could afford a 21, and got one, but by then I had handled English shotguns. Was that ever an expensive move, handling an English gun, which IMHO are about as close to perfection as shotguns can be. Since then I have owned several English shotguns and rarely look back, as I can imagine many worse addictions.

Socialism is almost the worst.
