Well, I've always had a soft spot for doubles but never really had the resources to really consider them. I own a Franchi Veloce Diamond that I don't shoot well with so I'm can sell it and put the money towards a classic double. I new my uncle had a field 12 ga elsie as it was my grandfather's that he bought in 1923. Kinda partial to them for nostalgic reasons, if nothing else. I am a dyed-in-the-wool grouse and woodcock hunter so I wouldn't mind carrying a gun like my grandfather carrying in the PA grouse coverts. I have looked at the boxlocks and really like the Ansley Foxs but they seem to be out of my price range. My double will see only action in the hunting woods. I have a beater Baikal for dog training.
