I want a light gun, sidelock or box doesn't really matter to me.. hunting quail and grouse, shooting some clays.. the reason i'm buying and English is 1) I've not had one so i'm treating myself 2) albiet i love some of the new italian guns i don't consider them investments.. I beleive from what i have learned in my research that given the right purchase price a nice English double is better than money in the bank.. plus it will be a thrill to own such a gun and use it...
