Should I get a side-by-side for game?

[@tomrubino4895]

I shoot a side by side and wouldn't have it any other way . My gun is and AYA and is the same age as I am , good old 66 yrs . And we are both in great shape ..... period ....

[@Coral813]

I've had them all expensive semi autos, O/U, S/S. I've gone back to the S/S a beautiful 16 bore and it's a dream to shoot. I do mainly game. Pigeon decoying. and rough shooting.

[@tysontomko]

I've got a 16 gauge ithica sxs that is also a dream. Its cylinder bore so not best for clays but taken many pheasant with it

[@androklesfb]

Loved the video. I've been in love with SxS shotguns since I was a little boy. My granddad had one and I've always loved the classic style and forms. I've owned a couple second hand SxS, mainly AyA. Last year I found a really nice Sauer SxS for left handed, which I am, and it's really nice. But two years ago, I had ordered a custom made SxS to Chapuis Armes, in France. After a long wait, it's finally in Chile awaiting for customs clearance. I can't wait to have it in my hands. I shoot pheasant mainly and like to practice my shooting with clays. My shooting club has both skeet and trap fields. This video was quite reassuring for me: in my club nobody shoots clays with a SxS. Thanks a lot.

[@alexpapathomas6814]

Treat yourself to an Italian one. You’ll never look at over understand again

[@tonynapoli5549]

It’s all cosmetic in my opinion A decent side x side will shoot just as well as a over and over , and I’ve proved it to myself. You either got or you haven’t that’s what shooting is about for me and my opinion.

[@twinpotracer]

I enjoy how wax lyrical you are for sideBside. That's the reason why I chose one, because of you!

[@CarlKlasa]

Love this channel. After a normal day at work (= "gaah") this stuff makes me happy again. So much good information and all friendly like it is only about helping us with our shooting. Thank you from Sweden.

[@michal.abramowicz]

Suhl fortuna and brno. Suhl is havy. Brno is light. Both of them are from 50's. Just for fun. Used with home made black powder shells. Popers. Plate rack. Duel tree. No issues. Both of them has chokes. Works nice at trap. Budget was like 100£ for each.

[@RobsRacingMotoVLOG]

What kind of argument is “if you get the right side-by-side, there just as many out there.” Because, no. What you own doesn’t change what other people own. I’d love to know what you were trying to say.

[@kamranjanvri4619]

Most under rated KZbin channel regarding shooting sports.very much academic, I wonder why some non sense channels grab more viewership than this research based videos. Keep it up Dave, kudos from Pakistan

[@andrewlambert4934]

I've got a laurona side by side (one of my collection ) it cost me £60 I love it to bits. I clay shoot with it,

[@notmkr-busta2937]

Just got my first sxs, a Huglu 200ae, awesome gun! Was looking for something a bit modern with ejectors and a pistol group (not much range here in Australia) so was a no brainer for $800

[@backpackingireland8624]

I've an AyA No2 , 26inch barrels . An absolute joy to shoot game with 👌👌👌

[@grampysays]

David love your videos, i picked up a SxS 12ga 20in barrel, coach gun for the field. have shot trap and skeet. Barrels warm alittle after 25 cartridges. but it all fun. What do think?

[@russcorbett3923]

Amazing advice !!!! Thank you for this and all of your videos !!!! I wanted to ask ,, is there such a thing as an all around gun ??? Buckshot for dear , heavy shot for ducks or geese and light shot for rabbits and quail ??? I've been thinking I may need to get 2 guns but I thought it's best to ask first !! Thank you for any advice you could offer !!

[@nellinecronje6911]

I wouldn’t mind a nice 20 gauge SxS!

[@milepetricevic7267]

Hows the Churchill 528 gold side by side. Is it part of the rubish group

[@davidkepley9634]

Good advice! Thank you!

[@jackal1840]

Hehe as he sits and fiddeling and turning that side by side im looking at this vid and say please gimme that gun 🥺🤗

[@maxcaysey2844]

I want a side by side 12 bore, because I think its just more stylish, classic and good looking, while I wear tweed and hunt with my gordon setter...

[@carolinethompson7046]

Hi,i know at times you take a bit of stick on here david,but that is good honest sensible review👍.

[@JT-bc5cd]

If you really want a do-all gun (sporting and game), probably the best bet is an auto-loader with removable chokes

[@احمددرادكه-ض9غ]

Beautiful and beautiful information your distinctive performance by delivering it correctly

[@tomhman6441]

Simple answer,yes.

[@twinpotracer]

I'm a complete novice and can't afford very much. I was lucky enough to buy a kestrel side by side for £20. It's rubbish, but it bangs and I occasionally hit a clay. The hardest process was obtaining the license and the time involved. I wish I wasn't put off because of the idea the sport is expensive.

[@perkinwarbeck3029]

Good advice on choosing a gun... I can't choose between OU or SxS... so both it is!

[@GWLAD]

Very informative thank you David I’ve got a Miroku skeet gun I use on game as it fits me properly used to have a Baikal side by side not a bad gun at all prefer Over and under though 👍👍👍

[@jimf1964]

It’s tough to find a 20g SxS, second hand, here in Canada. The few that turn up are bought right away, or cost a few thousand. And for get about getting a 28g for under $2500

[@garryyoung1816]

Side by side is by far the best for game shooting I've used all types of shotguns and I still own a few but it's the side by side that's my favorite it is a hunting gun

[@FantomWireBrian]

My son took out all of our best shooters with a 90 year old Field grade LC Smith with thirty inch barrels and full and full . We only paid 1,500 . He out shot guns 10 times the price. Side by sides are better than over and unders and he has everyone at the club questioning why they didn't have one. No question side by side are a far superior shotgun to any . 😎

[@guaporeturns9472]

Why do you say sxs are better than o/u?

[@dutchboyslim5951]

I am curious; why id it illegal to have a shotgun in the home for self-defense?

[@slongger]

Shotgun is most deadly weapon at close range. Its still legal here . A guess would be the authoritys where your from dont like the idea of possibly being cut in half with a double barrel full of buckshot or slugs.

[@1992jamo]

I've got to get a skeet vest? Tweed vest? Can I enter this sport without dressing up like a 1900s farmer or toff?

[@elemental4rce]

definitely, i frequently enter competitions and shoot game in whatever i feel comfortable wearing. Wear what you're happy wearing and enjoy the sport. This guys got a lot of outdated theories and opinions about shooting

[@GixxerZilla]

Side by side for me

[@aircommando505]

Two over unders and one side by side. One semi auto and one pump. Over all I find myself with the 20 ga side by side the most.

[@mikeanderson5100]

Mr Johnny Rooster, was that a side by side or an over under that shot you? Beretta and Browning sell more OU than all the side by side manufacturers combined. Not even close. That being said, my go to hunting gun is Model 21 20 ga with 28” bbl. Classic

[@MdaMda-ky7zd]

i have 9 shotguns and I use one only

[@alexpapathomas6814]

Jeez keeping up with the liscence s must be a hassle. What guns have you got. I have a Bernardelli acciaio speciale extra. Haven’t been game shooting in years

[@pim1234]

I live in the Netherlands, so we have to shoot steel. I am thinking about a Beretta Paralello. Are there any other Side by sides that can handle steel ?

[@elemental4rce]

fabarm are a good option for a modern side by side capable of shooting steel, you can also find some of the other berreta models such as the silver hawk 2nd hand for half the price of a parralello and still lovely guns to use. There are a few other modern companies that make nice functional side by sides, just have to look around and do your own research

[@pim1234]

[@olivernairne8678]

They are the propper game gun

[@sergeypanfilov3397]

hello, please can you tall me what's the name of side plated over and under Shotgun next to the AYA?

[@TheDunzweiler]

Clay, sport, game? SxS, O/U Its a shotgun... Learn to use it properly and 1 is all you need. Thankyou for the honest review..

[@tylerrogers7639]

Lmao, this is one of the best comments I have ever read. You are not wrong. ;p

[@andrewlambert4934]

So one gun... why bother. Just throw a handful of gravel. That should be enough

[@giggergigger1]

Get a semi auto he loves them 😃

[@alanstrong55]

Try to find a Fox Model B-SE

[@ghfggvrhgf76]

Beautiful

[@davesimm]

Best option for an affordable steel proofed side by side?

[@edbigtruck]

CZ Sharptail

[@edbigtruck]

Ther're made by a company called Hula. I've had this gun a few times Quail Hunting and it's been a pleasure. I'm really happy with it.

[@protectyaneck6482]

Baikal mp43

[@AW-hg3pc]

cultures really differ, i keep hearing about tweed vests and gentlemen. Here 80% show up to a hunt wearing milsurp and 5 euro orange vests from the hardware store. In winter i see people wear cut up white bedsheets.

[@aidendirtbikes7914]

If I’m gonna spend that much on a shotgun I’m gonna to get a nice semiauto

[@rogerbeckner6419]

You English seem to have a fetish for Browning weapons. I run Fox Sterlingworth for SxS and Zoli for O/U. I also run 16 bore.

[@abdullahraisani2645]

Best information but in Pakistan mostly Turkey made kral and Russian mades Baikal are are available which one is the best sami auto for all purpose

[@Rawteddyx3]

Defenitely a gun with a multi choke

if you only have 1k to spend on a gun i dont think your going to be on a big posh game shoot costing 3k plus

Well that’s 10 minutes of my life I can’t get back!

[@cinnreds18]

Don’t kid yourself, your life isn’t worth shit anyways 😂

[@jasonprotaszczak8011]

Why do you only plug guns from close to a grand up into the thousands in videos aimed at beginners? There are literally thousands of shotguns out there from £25 upto say £500 that will outshoot nearly anyone behind the trigger. My daily beater is a sub £500 sbs, I learned with it nearly 30 years ago and I still shoot it today. Granted I have nicer guns for driven days ect but that is something to work upto not to start on. Throwing several thousand pound guns at beginners as a starting place is one of the reasons people won't get into the sport (well between that, the elitism, tweedy snobs and general misinformation). 30 years ago we would not dream of dropping say 3k on a starters gun for game shooting, you started with a hand me down probably fit for the parts bin and went from there.

[@TheHickmanbcfc]

The guy is a tool

[@FantomWireBrian]

You don't know what you're talking about. Your eyes are side by side not over and under . Get it ❓

[@dadousam3533]

you are torturing the shotguns by opening and closing in your hands ,poor guns!

[@whatafukndick5660]

Ummm, their 2 shots.. the manufacturer made them for lots of opening and closing.
