I like mine. I freely admit they aren't for everybody (are you still here, Larry?) but, one that fits can be a delight.
Ted, I might come around to liking mine because it does fit and is in quite nice shape.  We'll have to see, once I have it in hand.  And I'm with you on the slings.  My first classic double (after an Ithaca SKB 150) was a 16ga pre-war Sauer.  Fairly plain gun, but it holds the record for longevity in my inventory.  Had it for 20+ years.  Back when we were shooting a lot of pheasants in Iowa, it was always nice to sling arms while strolling back to the truck with a limit in my vest.  Also handy for shooting photos . . . no need to put the gun on the ground.
