I don't remember exactly who wrote it, but I think it may have been Bob Brister... he wrote that "If God wanted me to shoot an over/under shotgun, he would have stacked my eyes in a similar fashion."

It is really up to you. I will say that if you don't grow up shooting one like I did, then most folks I've talked to have expressed a difficulty in getting used to them...in regards to looking over two barrels instead of one. The sight picture is definately unique to anything else.

I will also say that in a situation that requires quick reloading, the SxS is FAR superior as it does not need to be broken at as great and angle to eject the cases, recock the hammers and reload quickly. Thats why you see African PHs carry double rifles... that an a quick second shot.... instead of O/U Express rifles. Rather a moot point unless you are being charged by a herd of disgruntled rabbits....might make a difference on a driven phesant hunt... but you'll have a gun man behind reloading anyway. Ahhh the finer things in life...

I'm not entirely sure here, but from my research and dealings in these things, it seems to me (and bear in mind I have conducted no tests) that when it comes to field guns, SxSs seems to usually have stronger actions (this of course depends on the gun and maker). Certainly the Kreighoffs are some of the toughest ever built, the K80 being an top and bottom, but the Winchester 21 action from what I understand is one of the few to have never been broken by English Proofing Loads. Could be rumors... who knows.
