What a wonderful gentleman, I had a Spanish Umbe sxs with a Prince Albert stock and 25 inch barrels, I'm tall and thin and used 2.5 English cartridges as this chap recommended in a 2. 3/4 chamber, I used it for rough shooting pheasant with good results and yes after two years the right main spring went, I got it replaced for €20! The gun cost €150, I really liked it 😊

Low pressure 2 3/4" should work well, too. Unfortunately it can be difficult to determine the pressure characteristics of many commercial shells. Low brass does not necessarily mean low pressure at all.

I love my little W&S 2020K. Its got single trigger, fixed chokes, 3" chambers and 26" barrels, ejectors, case hardening and only weighs 2.8kg. It is a sweet little gun and cost only 550 quid new last year!!!

If you can get passed the small finishing errors in a Brno ZP-149, they're an excellent gun for the money. Its also a sidelock. A cheap 3 pin with coil spring sidelock but its still a sidelock! So from a distance it looks like you have a pretty nice gun! Especially if you have the one with the game scene. Then you get up close and can see some odd grinding marks on the trigger guard that someone blued over and that the checkering isn't straight.

Side by sides are much easier to load in a hurry... seriously worth owning both rather than choosing between the 2

The answer to "how many guns should one own" has a simple formula in nature: G = N + 1 Where G is the total number of guns to be owned and N is the Number of Guns I currently own today. This formula resets itself every day. So yes, nature dictates you should add a Side by Side to the collection

I'm tall and lean. My preference has always been for the older British stock design with a fair amount of drop at the comb and heel. The shooting stance is much more comfortable. I don't have to contort my body to "fit" the stock and the gun tends to point where I'm looking. It's difficult for me to understand why shooters seem to be content with poorly fitting stocks. I see that many trap shooters now use guns with ridiculously high ribs. Aren't they, in great part, an effort to overcome the handicap of stocks that are just too straight?

English side by sides are pretty guns. Only thing I got against them is that they are so expensive. I can only speak for me, but I don’t see where a shotgun is worth over $100,000. I mean I can buy a house and land for that price. I happy with my American made LC Smith by Hunter Arms manufactured I think in the 40’s. It’s a Field Grade. I thank my God for blessing me with it.

Still shoot my 1890 Geo. Fuller hammers with Damascus barrels. 2 1/2 " cartridges, light load, as the maestro says. It will never have steel shot put through it, an absolute no for Damascus barrels !. Different technique from my Browning 525, but so is my intent when game shooting ... I am there for the company, the fresh air and the food, not a score.

I may have an opportunity to pick up a Ugartechea side by side later this year. What's your experience been like with them and are they worth owning?
@wayneparker93315 жыл бұрын
He didn't answer you but I have owned an Ugartechea 12 gauge side-by-side for 6 years now and it's (by far) my favorite shotgun to take on upland game bird hunts. I've yet to have a problem with that shotgun and I bought second hand (25 years after it was built).
@Willenium2k42 жыл бұрын
I don't recall making this comment but as an update if you're interested, I did buy the Ugartechea :) It's been a lovely gun and I'm enjoying shooting it on the rare occasions I'm able to have a few shots. The tip of the left firing pin was detached so I had a gunsmith make me a new pin last October. For the money (sub £100), I don't think you can get a much better gun.
