Nice report, Slate, and I couldn't agree more with other comments posted. Obviously for many of us lovers of old doubles, the operative word is "old." We're traditionalists and nostalgists who prefer to do it the old way with the old tools -- regardless of the barrel count. I own a Benelli SBE and acknowlege that it is probably the most efficient duck killing "machine" in my safe, but I can't remember the last time I took it on a hunt. It has no stories to tell. The Lefever 10, my Birmingham fowler, a Model 12 or my dad's Rem Model 11 ... those are my go-to guns for the duck blind! TT
