That's because a double gun is the ideal tool to hunt ruffed grouse with Ted. As much I have enjoyed learning about these guns and their history, I've never lost track of that fact. What amazes me is how good these guns can be in the right hands. I grew up with that and have never forgotten it, and....there simply are occasions where having a 3rd shot (or more) is a pretty convenient thing. It's sure nice to have options!
