Greenhunter Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Voted SxS as that was always what I liked to shoot. Now its a Semi or nothing. The latter not being a option GH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39TDS Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 What about single barrels? I quite like my Greener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyxologos Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 O/U for clays, S/S for wildfowling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger955i Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 I had to vote semi as my AL391 is the only gun I use, now that my gf has laid claim to my o/u for clays lol. But have to admit nothing looks better than a nice sxs. Shame I can not shoot a sxs for love nor money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlistairB Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Didnt vote as i think each has their use in the right circumstance, and my preference is based on that circumstance! AB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 I have vote for a Side by Side as I am a bit of a "traditionalist" but I will happily admit that I am happy to use an Over and Under and there is no logical reason (In my opinion) why I should not shoot just as well (Or badly) with either!

Cumbrian Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Over/under, without a doubt, for everything, though some considerable nostalgia for s/s for looks and for mounting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsm1968 Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 O/U for me. Mate of mine was a SxS man and always used to say: "If God wanted you to shoot an O/U he would have put your one eye above the other!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Same old, same old, same old, this needs a reality check and livening up a bit! They all fire the same cartridges, and whilst there are potentially obvious differences of barrel length, balance, weight, grip etc etc etc they all do the same job. I can't get on with SBS at all and my Semi does everything I need so the o/u hardly ever comes out, and the single barrel job is just there for no particular reason. Until you get to the VERY top end of any sport/discipline, the difference for most comes down to what they like, which usually means what they hit most with! If you can hit the pheasant you can hit the clays and pigeon, you don't need to keep changing guns. You might as well ask why people buy a Ford Focus and not Vauxhall Astra, or vice versa! Tradition/choice/peer pressure/cost/I like it/I just want one/I read somewhere/ etc etc A multi choke 12g Semi with a 28" barrel will do EVERYTHING anyone wants (unless they are at the VERY highest level). What they buy is often very different! ATB! Anyone know where I left my Tin Hat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cant hit rabbits 123 Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Pump action for fun on the clays or pigeons. Over and under for everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Kelly Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Side by side for rough and game shooting as it's easier to carry, unload and load. There's a sound reason for the design. For hide shooting, or heavy cartridges a semi auto has design advantages, so I use that. If I shot clays more I would probably get an over and under as it has better properties for that disipline and can more easily be shown to be "safe" to others at the ground. As I rarely clay shoot the semi serves fine for those occasions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
