Shotgun thread! Over/Under shotguns or Side-By-Sides?

>>34480619
I always liked side by side better for aesthetics and easier removal of shells

I like both but if I had to choose it'd be side by side, like >>34480634 said it just has that aesthetic

I prefer O/Us because of the slicker sight picture, the overall styling of the guns and also because it's a bit easier with clays but SxS are totally fine too.

Do you really have to ask?

kek
subtle

>>34480619
for what purpose?
to sit by the front door sxs all day.
to shot clays i prefer a o/u

>>34480619
I have an O/U
SxSs are much more expensive in the UK unless you want a shitty rusty non-ejector

>>34480619
Side-by-side pros
Aesthetics
Smaller gape
Lighter

Side-by-side cons
Wide sight plane
Lighter - more recoil
Muzzle flip for second barrel acquisition

I own an AYA No.2, a Beretta SBS and a B25 O/U

>>34480619
I have an O/U as it suits my needs better and cost a bit less (for equivalent quality), but I prefer the look of an SxS.

O/U's tend to be a bit smaller so if you don't have a massive mouth they're better for offing yourself, side-by-sides are just too wide to fit in your mouth

>side-by-sides are just too wide to fit in your mouth
You're fucking retarded on so many levels and have never handled a 12-ga

Nominal 12 ga bore is 0.726", so two is 1.452". Add, say, 50 thou for each barrel wall, gives you 1.65". So you're saying your mouth is narrower than 2" Really?

Who makes a budget OU?

Stoeger. I've heard more or less bad things about durability on the newer models, but I have an older one (I think from the 80s or 90s but I have no idea) and it's a fucking tank. I paid 300 bucks for it and I love it.
