I just retired and moved to a place that has a decent population of ruffed grouse and it has rekindled a desire to hunt upland birds again. I’ve been getting some birds with an 870 20 ga. I’ve mostly shot the Remingtons and a model 12 over the years and always did quite well with them. How ever I have always admired fine doubles and appreciate the nostalgia of hunting upland game with them. I’d love to have a fine double in 28 ga or possibly a 20 but the few I’ve tried I could not hit the broad side of a barn with. I have owned a couple of Citori’s and a beautiful 101 Pigeon grade that I also shot well so what is it about a SxS that makes them so difficult for me? Do any of you have these same issues? Short of remortgaging the house and being fitted with a fine double maybe I’m just not meant to shoot one
