Thanks guys. I do have a good .22 LR already and I will be keeping it.

The only problem with an over under combination gun is I do a lot of upland bird hunting and a side by side double is a necessity for me.

I guess what I am ultimately trying to figure out is whether or not I need a 3rd gun for a certain style of hunting when I could just as well use a SxS shotgun with Brenneke slugs, no?

I know in Europe prior to the 1980s Brenneke slugs were the mainstay for boar, bear and european bison.

I am going to forgo the idea of a drilling at this time because I simply don't have enough experience with them. They seem like a great idea for camp or for mixed bag hunts though...

So the question goes: should I just use a SxS with Brenneke slugs for close quarter/driven hunts (boar, moose, odd bear) or should I get something else entirely?
