Looking For A New Double
I'm looking for a new double ( sxs or o/u, but maybe prefer a sxs ) for grouse hunting. I've used the search engine here and read the older threads regarding this subject, however - it has been 5-6 years since this was discussed and the options have changed a bit.
Regarding Turkish made shotguns, my understanding of CZ's (Huglu) are that they are well made and a good value. I rarely see them around here, so I have no way to handle them to decide for myself. I had an opportunity to handle a Stevens 555 o/u the other day and it felt quite nice. I handled a 12/28 and a 20/26. Does anyone have any personal experience with the Stevens Model 555 ?
I've called around and there are no CZ Bobwhite or Ringneck (now called a Sharptail ) sxs's anywhere in the Upper Midwest that I've tried.
Any experience would be appreciated.
Regards, Vic
