Drooling....
I only have six. I'll try to get pics posted of all soon.
My Merkel 147E 16ga, my JP Sauer hammer 16ga, and my Ugly Duckling, Winchester Model 24 in 16ga. Hmm, see a trend here?
Also have a Hunter Arms Fulton in 16ga, a Merkel 50E in 20ga, and a Winchester Model 21 in 12ga. No pics yet of those three.

1Oz,
All my sxs guns have double triggers. To me, single triggers just don't look right, or feel right, on a sxs. The Win21 had about as good a single trigger there was, and it was still subject to ftf and doubling - which is no fun in a 12ga. Mine is DT and does not fail unless I do
Switching triggers was never a problem for me, it just seemed to come naturally - as long as I don't think about it. I shoot them almost daily since I retired and love them more every day.

My $50 LeFever H grade
Gosh I paid $20.00 for a SxS back in high school and sold it before I went in the Army back in 72' . Can't remember the make but I think it was either Remmington or Winchester . Man I wish I still had that , it was a sweet shooting rabbit gun and I think was a 26" barrel . I've looked all over gunshows for a SxS now and man they ain't cheap anymore ! Only one I found under $500.00 is a Stoeger SxS for $499.00 with a 30" barrel with chokes . That's what I'd like to have but right now finances aren't very good
Reviews on those Stoeger sxs guns aren't too positive. I've handled one and it did not feel good, either. I think you would be better served with an older used sxs such as an old Stevens 311/Fox Model B/Winchester Model 24, or something along that line. They are not the prettiest guns, but they are built like tanks and seem to last forever. I have a Win24 (my Ugly Duckling) in 16ga and I shoot it as well as I do my Merkel 16!Gosh I paid $20.00 for a SxS back in high school and sold it before I went in the Army back in 72' .
