Great stories. I started my interest in SxS with a Stevens 5100. Our house was broken into when I was 16 and we lost the 20ga 870 I was using. My grandpa pulled a Stevens 5100 20ga out his closet with a tenite stock on it. I used that through college to hunt doves. It was the first SxS that I restocked with a semi-inletted stock and all that got me onto liking and working on SxSs. Nice to know so many others have good memories of a Stevens too. I have lots of options for my boys, but maybe I'll start them on that Stevens 20ga.
