The AT is nice. I wish they had done it 10 years ago, would’ve saved me a crapton of money.

I didn’t see the Bobwhite AT on CZ’s site when I made a cursory look the other day, so if anybody wants one, they might oughta move on it.

How does that olive barrel look on the AT? I don’t love the look in pictures

If you decide to get one of these Purdy SxS I will give you $100 to shoot two shells through it.

I guess it depends on your intended use. For waterfowl or turkey, it’s absolutely fine. It’s well done on the 2 that I handled

I have an old 870 pump I duck hunt with/use as a paddle

I don’t see that ever changing

you may not like a double trigger as much as you think. Turkey hunting is one thing. Fast follow ups on pheasants is another. Pretty much useless on woodcock for the majority of the population

I love the AYA and Fox on quail with double triggers. I got used to them pretty quickly.

I only wingshoot with doubles now, but I will agree that switching back and forth from single trigger to double trigger can be frustrating.

I shoot double triggers on all my sxs guns and have no trouble adjusting. It takes a little muscle memory, but I can feel the difference if I grab the rear trigger first, and I like the ability for instant choke selection.

I’d look around gunbroker for field grade LC Smith in good shape

I am partial to used older American guns. I like to look here at Double Gun Shop Classifieds . Good guns turn up on here all the time and the guns are owned by knowledgeable gun people and there isn't much junk that gets posted there. Nothing that jumps out currently, but the good stuff moves pretty quickly.

I have a cheap stoeger with double triggers. It didn’t take anything for me to get used to it.

My JP Sauer 16 has sxs and I love it, in fact when my son started shooting doubles with singles he didn't like it. THis post made me realize I hadn't busted out the sxs yet this year... it's gonna be on deck the next few days....


FWIW sight line speaking on flushing and rising birds a sxs gives a better sight pic than O?U or single barrel but on passing and crossing birds O/u and single is better. Something just feels "right" with a sweet sxs on a flushing bird be it quail, wood cock, snipe, ducks, pheasant. I have an LC 12 that is not shootable....

Craig Boddington did a review in Guns and Ammo. Features include double triggers and extractors rather than ejectors.

Just pulled the trigger on the bobwhite with black chrome finish

Just didn’t like the olive green cerakote on the all terrain. Figured the black chrome will give enough protection versus the blued
