over/under vs side by side shotgun?
#11

Having both, and enjoying both I don't see any difference between them for upland game or actually any other shooting. However, call me a hopless romantic, but I like the way a good SxS feels in the hands. If I had to choose between the two, I would have to pick the SxS.

I started hunting seriously when I was abot 12 - 1960's. I lusted for a SXS, and finally scraped up enough "hay baling/corn breaking/barn cleaning" $$$ to by a used Ithaca "Nitro Special" from a neighbor. I used this shotgun for decades on everything from rabbits to geese to deer. And O/U probably has a lot of advantages over a SXS, but I am too old a dog to change now ! I love 'em.
