Feel of a Double
      #60696 - 02/08/06 11:26 AM

If it isn't obvious, I just joined this site, on a referral from AR.

Obviously looking hard a purchasing a double.

My expeience with s/s shotguns may be relevant- my Merkel, when I carry it, is like holding a pretty girl's hand. My Charles Daly is a banger that stays in the trunk and does everything I ask of it (no female analogy here I would acre to dream up or proffer).
My Beretta is in the middle.

Seems doubles are the same- I think you agree?

For example, a Searcy does not set my heart racing, but I know it is reliable, on face, backed by the manufacturer and will do what I ask.

Some English doubles I handled at SCi were like...pretty girls.

Chapuis, Kreighoff, somewhere in the middle.

It's all a trade off isn't it? Knowing me, I think if I get a Searcy, it won't be long before I am wrangling a trade for a nice English DR.

Still, quite a leao to fork out that kind of cash on an unknown- how much will the DR engage me?

A lot of you guys swear by em, so if yo have any input on my ramblings, please express them (pun intended) before I write a big check here in a few days or so....

Doubles--
Sometimes its kinda like meeting your wife on the first date.

Once you find one that fits you you will be smitten with it while hunting!!

And if that Double ever pulls you out of a tight spot you will become joined at the hip!!

And your right, that Merkel or Chapuis or Searcy may indeed lead you on to an English DR cause theirso addictive!!

Plan on hunting and enjoying your "future" double alot. And that is good,cause life is short enough as it is.

Look for a good British double in one of the 450/400's.
You will never go wrong with that choice.
