I have both SxS and O/U and have hunted with both. In my youth, I also hunted my grandfather's 870 pump and still do occasionally. My apologies to the O/U and single barrel crowd, but I must say that the SxS is far more comfortable to carry in one hand and rest on the right shoulder when hunting. I just seem to feel more centered when drawing down on my quarry with a SxS. The superiority of the SxS as a hunting implement seems an inevitable conclusion to those who thoughtfully ponder gun choice.
