too_pointer Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 I have a Beretta o/u 686 20 ga. I had at one time a side by side 12 ga. If I remember right it was a Fox. I never could get good with it though. The POA was quite abit different between the barrels. I did buy it used from a dealer ( he got it right back ) LOL. too_pointer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Re: How many hunters own double barrels ?? I've got a Stoeger Uplander Special 20ga. S/S (2nd one down) Haven't hunted with it much. But it's pretty fun for bustin' clay birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Re: How many hunters own double barrels ?? I've got 2. One is actually my dad's, but he doesn't hunt anymore. It's a Dan Arms 20 gauge O/U The other one was given to me by my brother in law. He was serving overseas in the Air Force with an airwing that supported the Iraq war. The gun he gave me is a 12 gauge O/U--I don't know if there's a brand name on it to be honest, I've never shot it, and don't plan to.

carbonhunter Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Re: How many hunters own double barrels ?? Over the years Ive had alot of doubles, both o/u and sxs. Right now I have a couple of browning citori's o/u'ers, and then a Fox Sterlingworth sxs, and a Ugartchea sxs. All are 12 gauges. I shoot the Ugartchea really well and go back and forth between it and the o/u's whenever Im upland hunting. The sterlingworth i dont shoot much as its in pretty good shape and I'd like to keep it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David_218 Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Re: How many hunters own double barrels ?? I own two double barrels: A Rossi "Coach-gun" in 20 gauge, and a Stoeger Uplander in .410 gauge. It seems like I shoot a S/S much better than a shotgun with just one barrel.

Guest 2500HD Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Re: How many hunters own double barrels ?? I have a Steoger Condor DU Edition O/U I won at a banquet. Nice shooting gun but I need more practice with it. Just not the same as my SX2! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvDog Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Re: How many hunters own double barrels ?? I will end up getting my grandfather's side-by-side 12 gauge whenever my dad is finally ready to let it go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Re: How many hunters own double barrels ?? [ QUOTE ] This gun isnt for hunting anymore i re-blued and sanded the stock and we put our names on the stock so who ever ends up with it wont ever sell it or hopefully wont hunt with it. [/ QUOTE ] That is a perfect one hunt a year gun. Take it on one hunt to honor its past and each person gets to enjoy it like the previous hunters did. I would not tote it all season but for an occasional careful hunt, why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

too_pointer Posted March 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Re: How many hunters own double barrels ?? Awesome I would love a .410 or .28 in a o/u. too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the tubes from Briley and you can turn your 20 ga Beretta into a 28 ga or .410 bore. Briley Tube Sets For a .410 bore set, you may have to have the inertia triggers worked on to be sure they will set for the second shot.

I had the chamber mates in 28 for spring skeet team and they dont pattern to hot, out of my citori anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Re: How many hunters own double barrels ?? CH, There is a big difference between Chamber Mates and full length tubes. Full length tubes pattern very nicely allow the shooter to shoot 4 gauges with one gun. They use choke tubes to regulate the patterns, just like a typical barrel.

WaCoyote Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Re: How many hunters own double barrels ?? Hey strut how do you like those stoegers? They are so inexpensive I was scared they'd be junk. Do you like them? I've always shot pumps but I'm buying a side by side as soon as those gold labels come out. Would have picked up a stoeger this year but was wary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

too_pointer Posted March 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Re: How many hunters own double barrels ?? LOL, like I can talk either I think the full length tubes are very pricey. I see them in Cabela's for I think $300 or more. I see the short ones for around $40-50. I think I will keep on dreaming LOL. too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
