I was given a JC Higgins .410 S X S to care for at age 8. I terrorized the squirrels, rabbits, doves and an occasional quail with it. From it I moved into auto loaders, following the "dictates" of the older men with whom I hung out. About 35 years ago my nostalgia for the little .410 grew strong and I decided I wanted a Fox Sterly. I finally found a really nice one, shot doves the whole next season with it, and from then until now it has been a runaway train. Ninety percent of my hunting is with S X Ss, with the rest split between a Beretta 687 20 ga. SPII Sporting and a "new" little WesternField/Browning 20 ga. pump.

My interests in S X Ss are at the two ends of the spectrum. I am addicted to big, 32" barreled S X S 12 ga. magnum duck guns, and also to long barreled S X S .410s. Can't really explain that. It is what it is.
