RE: every one with opinons!!!!!!!! come on in !
I think it's all a matter of taste. The first 12 guage I ever hunted with was a Model 12. I then shot an 870 exclusively (all bird hunting, trap, skeet). After that I got an O/U itch, went right through a Remington Peerless, was lucky I had also picked up a Browning Citori along the way, and also got my hands on a nicely engraved Model 101 to pretty up my gun cabinet. Somewhere in there I added an 1187, which I liked so much I had to have the real thing, an 1100. It's been true love ever since. But this thread is about o/u vs. sxs. I have one sxs, an AYA 12 gauge. Nice gun, but it took some getting used to. If your gonna make me choose between a sxs and o/u, put me down for a Citori.
