...fully agree on the 'un-desirability' of an ou double in a calibre larger than the 9.3...
...looked closely at a beretta sso6 ou in .458wm recently...big, bulky, heavy, hard to maneuver...could not get the sense that breaking open the action, loading, closing the action, shouldering and sighting could be done in one deft movement...other than that, the sso6 was beautifully made and put together like a proverbial swiss watch...
...on the other hand, an 8 pound 9.3 on a 20 bore action is another matter...imho...
