Re: Do you shoot a double barrel?
Oh and not to mention you can add a 30-30 barrel for the 220 as well. As far as the multiple choke options of the O/U & SxS, is it really a huge deal when hunting with a pointer? I can clearly see the benefit when hunting behind a flusher or pass shooting doves/ducks. But a majority of shots over a ...

That tells me that more than one manf. in Turkey can make good guns. heck Huglu makes guns 5x better than the ones CZ imports, and they've been doing it as long or longer than the companies here in the states.
