[quote=Rocketman]Two things quickly come top mind. 1) Do you really (I mean do you KNOW) that you shoot game guns well enough to invest in a pair? [quote]

That's a good point, Don. However . . . if you find you DO like and shoot game guns well, a pair is not a bad investment. We often talk about having a "backup" gun. If you have a pair, then your backup gun is the same as your go-to gun. Thus, it can be worth the investment even if you never intend to use them as a pair. One of my A&N pair was in the shop for serious repair (my fault--really STUPID--not an issue with the gun) during bird season. All I did was switch to #2. And if you look at prices for pairs in this country, you may see that--at least on occasion--it's less than twice the value of one of them.
