RE: side by side or over & under
I do like...scratch that, LOVE SxS. They look better. They feel better. But the truth of the matter is that I shoot better with a O/U. Browning makes one citori with a english grip. The superlight feather I think. If it's to be a functional hunting gun and not a range gun I'd highly recommend that straight grip. It makes carrying in the field much more pleasant.
