I own and like my older classic Lefevers, Foxes, and Elsies......but if I were buying a SINGLE SxS to hunt with, I'd opt for a newy manufactured shotgun, such as the Uggie. The older classics are much more likely to have parts wear out, or break, since they are a century old (+ or -).

If you choose an old classic, always take a back-up shotgun with you on your hunting trips.

I love the "Oldies" but they are more likely to break now and then.
