Which one?

[kahuna]

Here's another topic that could be "debated" over a cold beer and a hot fire. Which do you prefer....Over/Under or Side by Side?

Personally, I prefer the O/U. I just get a faster sight picture with it than a s/s.

kahuna, For the EXACT same reason as you I prefer the side by side. I put the game just above the barrels maybe half covering for far shots and center up! brent

OU for me based on having shot both OU's & SS's over the years but I don't own any of either at the moment... Last O/U I had was a Charles Daily & the last SS was an old model 24 Winchester in 16 ga that I traded off.. I much prefer pumps & semi-autos these days. My Dad had a beautiful little Browning Diana 20 ga O/U that he sold off for $6g as a part of his retirement plans... I don't plan on having to sell any guns when I retire...

I pick the OU too,I think the SS double looks like a mean ass gun though

To add to this,

The OU has more of a classy look to them,where the ss looks like a rug-id shooting weapon.Just my perception of the two

I'd agree with that statement whole heartedly but I did see a real pretty Purdy combination of a double side by side rifle & a side by side shotgun in a sweet leather double gun case down in Charleston, SC one time... all engraved, spanish walnut & all that crap... probably $50 grand worth of guns and they looked pretty dang sweet! I think the rifle was a 500 Nitro & the shotgun was a 20 ga. I can't imagine what it would be like to have that kind of money...

I have shot a over and under but I prefer my winchester 1300 pump,, I can out 3 shels through it pretty quick,, I even raced a guy once and beat him.. Tim but they say that two shot is more sporting.. I hunt for fun but I like to get my limits too. Tim

Based on the price factor for a "good" O/U and a "good" SxS, the O/U is a much better deal monetarily. But Kimber sure has a beauty of a SxS now. WOW! -Sloopy

i like s/s better,i got an o/u and i hate it......i think ill go trade it for a s/s or a mossberg 835 or 500
