Ted, I can't imagine any reason to do that. I can imagine 5 or 6 good reasons not to.
A good reason being, like, what, all the competitors in clay games shooting SXS guns? All the new SXS guns being built? Lets hear all these good reasons you have.
Most people who use a SXS are experts, or, close, not newbs. Nothing breeds success like success, and an O/U is easier to shoot well than a SXS.
If she comes around to a SXS, good for her, if she doesnt she has an O/U.
Best,
Ted
Well, #1. She wants a side by side. You may be good at selling stationwagons to women that want sports cars, but you would do better selling them sports cars if that's what they want.
#2. She has hunted pheasants for a year with a borrowed side by side. She knows of what she speaks.
3. She doesn't give a rat's ass about what competitive shooters shoot. She isn't even competing.
4. What is being made today has little to do with what is available on the market.
5. What you suggest is over her price range by quite a bit more than they are going to take for that particular gun
6. I hardly know the person and will probably never see her again. I'm just passing info and opportunity to someone looking for them. I am not her personal shooting coach or anybody she should trust in that regard.
7. I don't know a single "expert" that shoots side-bys. Not even one. I'm not an expert. I don't think you are an expert on side-bys either, unless, perhaps they happen to be Darnes and she cannot afford to think about Darnes.
I could go on, but in a nutshell, the worst thing to do to someone with some interest is to tell them to not do what they want to do, rather than help them find ways to accomplish it.
Sell that stationwagon to someone else.
