I have always loved the way the slim profile of a SxS carries vs an O/U. I too do not shot them that well. I have a Phila. Fox and Utica Fox, and a Parker Repro and shoot the Parker with more modern stock dimensions by far the best.
I have considered the 486 in the same config you are receiving but, I wanted to handle one first. Everything that I have read about the 486 is positive. My only nit is that the wood I have seen on many examples on-line appears more plain than I expect it should. I look forward to your impression!
