Mr. Brown: With this, I concur completely. I have had several Merkel sidelocks crafted in 28 gauge, beautiful, but to shoot a brace of quail, or a string of doves, its the 147E that came out of the closet. On that particular gun, the swing and point makes up for all else.

To me, a true "Best Gun" is the one that a person can shoot the best!
