While just reaserching for which trigger fires which barrel... I learned that the front trigger fires the right barrel which has an open choke... While the rear trigger fires the left barrel with a modified choke for a longer shot...
all these years....
Well I will do a little better on the squirrel hunt with my little 20 gauge now... Guess I will carry standard 6 shot in the right barrel and Remington express xtra long range 6 in the left...
It's a Savage Fox 20 gauge

Why not just use the same load, and let the chokes make up the difference?

I like an IC on top and Mod on bottom. Obviously, shoot the top barrel first.

I knew a guy into big game hunting and he would get a new rifle for each hunt. He would get these 3 barreled guns, sometimes it was 3 rifle barrels, sometimes it was a combo of shotgun and rifle barrels. One trigger worked on the right and left bottom barrel, I forget which order and then the other trigger worked on the top. It honestly would have been cheaper and probably lighter for the guy to carry two guns...

When I was 15, my cousin had me shoot his over under double barrel 10 gauge once. Never again.
Not sure what loads he had but he told me to shoot both barrels at the same time. Was not prepared for that kick.

I had an older 12g o/u with double trigger, and it was real easy to fan the trigger if you didn't concentrate just right.
That was a nasty surprise a few times. It wasn't worth fixing, an old POS Zolli I paid a few hundred for.

The barrels are stamped
Right barrel says 7x
Left Barrel 24X
What exactly does that mean? any links.
BTW- Armsdealer... I am looking for a WWII CZ 27... Got one?

Drilling firearms
Very popular in Europe and most are hand made in Germany

What if it only has one trigger, ol baw?

Some have a switch that will let you select which to fire first. Same with most over and understand.
Love a side by side, but always hated the double triggers.

A SxS with a single trigger is a blasphemous creation.

I understood you are suppose to shoot the bottom barrel first. Has to do with the balance / pivot point of the gun and it not jumping up as much when you shoot the bottom barrel so you stay on target for a faster/smoother second shot.

It’s amazing that alot the the gun designs we have now (side by sides, lever action rifles, falling blocks, revolvers ) were designed and manufactured prior to modern machining.
And yet even with the modern machining most of them have just been copied.
