Chasseur,
Thats 25 for 25, my friend! I shoot better with an o/u...just a bit.... My choice is, and will be, my nice old sxs. It is the same with wine and women...personal choice.
It is nobody's business whether you like jug wine and fat women.

I bought my first shotgun in 1971, a Stevens with a hardwood stock, side by side, and it fit me perfectly. I still use it today, and it looks like an old war horse: finish is gone, and only a little bit of blueing left. I've had to replace broken firing pins more times than I can remember, but still love it.

I bought a 20 guage Fox BSE-e when I was 13. It is still a great gun. I got my son an o/u Ruger in 28G to start. It is wonderful, but it just isn't a S/S. The barrels dont open on their own, it doesn't snap shut in as lively a fashion, et.
When I moved up to a 12G (Steel shot - bah humbug) I started using an 1100. But, I am going to get a Ruger Gold Label. I am also trying to get my hands on a Remington S/S and a Guegot S/S my buddy inherited. Nothing comes to my shoulder like a S/S. The rest may shoot, but only with a S/S are you shooting.
For safety, I don't think any kid should have anything but a double.
-------------------- Pass it on!
