The first was a Stoeger 12 ga for cowboy shooting, very much an entry level gun that got sold after I bought a Winchester 1897 for cowboy shooting.
The second was a Spanish 10 ga that a previous owner had chopped the barrels to 20" which gets used for cowboy shooting with heavy BP loads. A serviceable gun, but not one that would a person start buying other doubles.
What set me down the path of nice double guns was a I. Hollis hammered 10 ga that I picked up at a very low price because the wrist had broken and been fixed with a piece of brass or copper put around the wrist and screwed into the wood.
I now have 3 10 ga, 3 16 ga and 6 12 ga SxS
