Two Points:
Point 1. Most of us shoot higher scores with an O/U or S/A shotgun. An earlier quote: "It is a given, over twenty years of experience, that I shoot 4-5 birds lower, on a 100 bird round, with my best S X S than with my MX8. If I shoot a great score with a S X S, I would have shot a higher score with the P gun, period."
I too shoot better scores with my Beretta A-400 S/A.
Point 2. Most of my SxS are 50 to 90 years old. I prefer not to put the extra wear from hundreds of clay bird firings on these lovely old SxS shotguns. Its a lot easier to repair a broken part on a recent Beretta than an old Lefever or Remington SxS.
I almost always bird hunt with a SxS. When bird hunting, I probably fire less than 100 rounds a year through an old SxS. As opposed to 100 shots on a round of Sporting Clays.

My sentiments, too. Well said, Jerry.
I, too, shoot a FAIR Iside, a .410 with 30" barrels and two triggers. I custom ordered it that way, with my stock dimensions, through Basil Slaughter in Nevada. Great gun. I love it. Doves hate it.
