the more I think about it the more I am thinking of not getting one. I have fired some very nice doubles and don't like O/U terribly. I will wait and see if they start production on the SxS models. I have used Ruger #1's enough to know I like them a lot and would be happy with one. So I have made up my mind that my first big bore(non black powder) rifle will be a Ruger #1 Tropical. I think loading for the 375 will be easier than the 9.3 too, but that is only a minor detail to me.

But I will keep my eye on some of these lower end doubles and maybe in a few years.....
