I went all the way back to muzzle loaders..ended up with That Scotts personal 9 bore Blisset one of the finest guns ever made...then on to cartridge hammer guns before choke then to big ten gauge hammer guns with choke and real killing power...then to a few 2.5 box lock toys closed out with a 1925 2&3/4" Scott sidelock.

Now I've graduated to O/Us and I've still got the finest automatic ever made a Benelli SBE.

John Browning was on to something....truth is I think I like the O/Urs better than the SxSs.
