I never cared for the Gold Label or the Red Label from Ruger. You can buy a quality English double for way less. I'm not knocking Ruger but There are better guns out there for less money. I have heard that before, much like Darnes. Sources? Maybe don’t quote anyone who is foolish enough to blow up a high power rifle. Best, Ted We have been through this 2x before, Ted. Your forgetfulness is marked given your shilling for Darnes, but again, direct from JJ Perodeau and I forget who at Briley. The guy at Skeetz in OK or was it AR, that Stan is so hot for was none to chili red hot about Darnes either. Face it, they made more than their share of lemons, including the one you used to own and recommended that I buy. You should stick to Sturmy Archers and other such obsolete stuff that no one here cares about. Cheers. More than a few guys here stay in touch with me about English bikes. My forgetfulness, but, you forget who at Briley? That right there is a classic. “Document”falls on deaf ears with you, it seems. Did you ever have a logic course on the way to being minted a professor? Did you pass? So, in the vast realm of your experience with the marque, you can document how many bad ones? Document away, Bucko. You can document that is was a build issue, as opposed to a buffoon with a reamer and a cordless drill, or one of the clowns who tell us about slamming gun barrels in doors to change POI? They built over a million of them, a bad one is going to happen, I imagine, but, you seem to think every one of them is bad. And, that your conversation with a handful of gunsmiths, some who you can’t remember, documents that for all the world to see. If you had actually been my customer, I’d have given you your money back. But, as we have been over more than 2X, you bought a gun from an auction house, NOT ME, and like ALL auction houses, they would have told you to pound sand had you cried to them. You understood that very clearly when you bid on the gun, but, somehow believe your problem is my fault. Did you believe I was supposed to warranty a gun that had gone down the road quite some time before you were interested in it? Man up, you are long overdue for it. Best, Ted

I prefer French, American, and Italian bikes, esp Italian . Keep your English.
And yes, I trust the people at Briley and JJ Perodeau far more than you. My Darne was not, in ther considerable experience, unusual at all. So it goes.
Good luck to you.

It is what it is, a relatively inexpensive utility/starter SxS.
We complain about our heritage dying out, lack of interest from younger generations in double-guns, lack of involvement or interest in hunting, and then complain or pick it apart when a company markets an entry-level, inexpensive SxS that young and newer shooters can afford.
And yes, some vintage guns can be found for less, but they are also not steel shot rated, do not have screw-in chokes, or can take most modern loads found at Cabela's or Sportsman's Warehouse. All things the young ones want and/or look for.

I love the conversations that start over mention of Ruger shotguns. I have a Red Label and a Gold Label. I like them both and shoot both of them well. The bottom line is for everyone to buy what you like. If you do not like Rugers, then, then by all means don't buy one. And as for you Ed...................No, I will just stop where I am.

Good luck to you. Something you probably don’t grasp, is that there is a local English bicycle club. I own American, Japanese, French and Spanish bikes (Orbea) but, you don’t get to do English bike club events on anything, but, an English bike. The club isn’t about what people prefer, it is about English consumer bicycles from about the turn of the century until the end of TI industries in the late 1980s. Since there is comradery, and period dress, I’d guess it wouldn’t be your cup of tea. You are an army of one complaining about regulation of Darne guns on the internet. Prove me wrong. Best, Ted

As for Darnes, they are what they are, not the best made guns, nor good bets for a suitable double. Does not take much to find that out, but I listened to you. Foolish of me, for certain.

Something else you don’t grasp. Others, disagree. I sold new Darne guns for over 20 years, and you won’t find any complaints with my guns. I’ve tried. The biggest complainer is a guy who didn’t buy a gun from me, has owned a grand total of one, an older low grade gun, and shoots his big mouth off about how it is my fault every chance he gets. Whether you like it or not, not every gun is a success story for every buyer. Nothing you own is a best made gun. Oh, and, by the way, 5 speed, in my case. It would take most of a shift to explain it to you, so, I won’t. Best, Ted
