I started hunting with a DT sxs back in the 60s and selecting the barrel based on the needed choke came fairly easy for me. As Stan said, it's much easier on a dove field than it is quail hunting. I've never found an o/u I could shoot well, but I'll admit I haven't tried very hard. The single plane of the o/u must be a real advantage for the competition shooters or they would not be using them. A sxs with a high rib, like a Berretta 626, comes close to mimicking that advantage. But alas, no DT on it.
