IS IT SPORTING? Dam right it is mate--you and the gun are there to take game in the first instance,ok we are also there to take in the sights and scents etc but the primary interest is to take game otherwise we wouldnt be there with a gun in the first place.I think it is very sporting to be able to take multiple targets out of a flock--if you are good enough and to be good you must have lots of shots to enable you to get there.We always used semi`s over fox dens using terriers to flush the foxes and believe me when a fox pair get out in a rocky creek bed stepping and jumping from stone to stone they often need more than two shots,something that a double cant deliver in time enough.(at $40 each for skins) What a joy it is to take quail that lift in a strong wing and go back over the top of you like skeet clays its bloody sporting then mate and often you do need the extra shots to lift your bag.Picture this---15 birds get up and with the double you may shoot two-three birds,the auto obviously increases your chances if you are good enough and if the birds go over into the neighbors property that may just be your day--finished with two birds.I myself started most of my shotgunning with a single barrel Baikal,something that had a waterpipe for a barrel and a choke that could be only described as super x super,this took some real aiming to shoot quail and when i went to semi auto that one barrel made it a very easy transition.Yes purists will always argue for doubles,though remember when o+u`s came out the old boys were horrified,now the o+u has taken right over but give me back my Berretta anyday,anyway i`m finished rambling haha.
