doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com WANT TO BUY AN AMERICAN DOUBLE

FS, I�d say, if you�re not in a big hurry don�t get in a big hurry. You�re in the fun zone right now and with your budget you�re going to be able to seriously look at some nice doubles of the types being recommended here.

I can�t personally comment on the Foxes and the Elsies but as for the NID and the NS (Nitro Special) they are exceptional for the money.

Ref: Ed�s comment on the pre WW1 Flues, definitely. They�re out there and as I get older and less able to walk miles, I find myself reaching more and more often for my pre WW1 16 ga Flues. The balance and the weight (5lbs 6 ozs) make it a winner, but, true, it won�t handle the heavy loads.

And Ed, I love my NS (primarily for function not form) and would also recommend them to any one but I see them as 3 generations or variations rather than 2.
The long frame �21-�26+/-, the short frame (reduced .39�) from �26-�36 and the A frame from �36-�47.

Fishsticker, we�ll be waiting to hear your choice and see photos. Enjoy the hunt.
