I'm not aware about O/U being more dificult to regulate than S/S or vice-versa. The former's barrels do indeed recoil in a vertical plan, while a S/S does just the same, albeit horizontally. I've fired both but wasn't aware of any difference and I believe that if there is some it must be masked by recoil anyway.

3 shots do not make a group, they show a point of aim or impact.
5 shots are a group.

In my humble opinion the best bang for the buck in the market anywhere is the Merkel 323E. They go begging; way underpriced for what they are. They truly are best quality.

I just took mine out this afternoon to have a look at it. Very underappreciated. They sell for pennies on the dollar.

OK, just snapped another shot. This time you get a good view of the very evil O/U barrels looking straight at the camera!

Oh, I failed to mention just how evil this rifle is. It's an evil, blatantly communist product of GDR!

Hoser-

Here is my advice to you.

First buy one double rifle.
Then, buy the rest of them.

It is inevitable.
Take the first step...

Cheers

Yeah, I will. Just asking and participating to increase my "rookie" status on the board! I'm kind of an info junkie once I get interested in something!

I bet that you've been told before that you're over thinking things... Right?

If you're looking for your first one get a decent brand that's been around for a while.. If it feels good and is a good caliber, get you feet wet! You can refine your tastes later on if you'd preder to go SXS or O/U. Sell or swap it off.

That one is for sale, or for keeps, depending on the whims of the market.

Merkel 323E .375 H&H

I have all the original papers, test target, invoices, etc.
