I started shooting late as we had moved to FL in the late 60s when I was a kid. In 1985, I moved to CO. I always wanted a double barrel and bought a used BSS 12 gauge. Unfortunately, the chokes were M/F. I couldn't hit a 1 gallon bucket thrown in the air with it. I ended up buying a Win101 and used it until the 21st century. I bought a SxS in 2005 and have hunted with one ever since. I like the looks, lightweight, and easy to carry. I still use an O/U for targets once in a while.
