I presently own 4 Sauer combo guns and can't find fault with any of them. I've also owned 3 other Sauer drillings that were excellent guns...other people seemed to want them a bit too much, however ($$$$$$!).

Two of my present Sauers are early 1900's Charles Daly sidelock/sidecock, one is a two barrel cape gun 12/8X57JR & 12/12 set, and the last is a drilling like No2's. All are so different from the others, but they are the same in one respect...quality. I've owned many other makers' drillings, and many were of superior quality...Gbr. Merkel, Kettner marketed, Heym, Burghsmueler, Sempert & Kreighoff, and some others. Many shared the same make actions. The difference was in the execution.

I believe I've found my ultimate drilling recently, a Geyger in 16/16 & 9,3X74R and 20/20/243, both well scoped. The check has been sent and I'm getting excited. This one won't fall victim to a trade-of-a-lifetime or offer-I-can't-refuse.

I would sell some of my guns right now to close up my wounded check book...
