Hello Bill:
Thanks for the input (as well as everyone else).
I would like either a 16 or 28 gauge. As to stock grip, I like a straight grip on a SxS.
Rolled engraving is fine with me.
Thanks again,
|

I've been shooting a lefty Arrietta 557 since 1999 and I have zero complaints. I'd love to shoot a Woodward, but that's unlikely to happen at this stage of the game. I've looked at lots of AyAs and Grullas and if I had to do it again, I'd go with the Grulla. Fit and finish is just a bit better IMHO.

Agree with Dave K. Given the price increases in new Spanish guns, whether you look Grulla or AyA, the real deals now are on the used market.

I've been shooting a 16 Ga. #2 AyA for 8 years and couldn't be happier.

I have an AyA and a Grulla. One is a 20 gauge, the other a 28. They were both purchased new within a couple of years of each other and the difference paid for each gun was less than $200. In all aspects the Grulla is finished to a higher level. Mechanically neither has ever had any issues.

Thanks Larry, Here is that Grulla,I go to lots of auctions and they are the only best way to buy a Spanish double and not get hurt to bad when you go to sell. http://www.amoskeagauction.com/100/221.html

I own and shoot a #2 and it's a great gun ... Take a look at a Merkel, since purchasing a 28 gauge last year I'm not sure I'd purchase another AYA, dollar for dollar I appreciate the workmanship and quality of the merkel. Just my opinion, buy the gun you're drawn to, you can always sell later. Used market has some great guns available.
Regards, Dave D.
