Default RE: Who Else Hunts With S/S?

I would except for three reasons:

I can't hit worth a lick "most" days that I shoot my dad's SxS. When I'm just shooting clays this is frustrating but ok...when I'm hunting it's not!

The thing kicks me like a mule. I know this all has to do with how the gun fits me (as does the first reason) but after two boxes of 1oz target 12s my shoulder, and more importantly my face, feel like I've shot a whole flat!

The safety needs work...the recoil from the first shot kicks it back on.

I would buy another one but it's down the list a ways...besides it's hard to find a 'decent' one for less than $600.
I love 'em...but I don't hunt with one yet.

If anyone knows of a SxS I should look at let me know. Mossberg makes a surprising O/U but I don't think they make a SxS. The newer Remington/Spartan/Baikal things are hidious. Dehann makes a good looking one for $660 but I get mixed reviews and have yet to see one in person.
