Upland Side by Side

(1/7) > >>

pickardjw:
Went out for opening day here in NE OR. Most of the guys I was with were running side by sides. Several Fox's in the group. I borrowed a 20ga semi-auto. It was light which was nice but I'm sold on getting a side by side. Love the way they swing and point.

Budget under $1k, preferably under $800. Happy to buy used on gunbroker to get a better value. Any suggestions on what to look for? Barrel length suggestions?

I don't hunt a ton of upland, no dog. Might use it duck hunting for fun. Just an excuse to add a gun to the safe.

Personally have an old  uggie 20.gauge Double.  Not a real well known gun (real enthusiasts know them) but I love it.  One of those guns that just seems to float to your shoulder and follows target easily.  I shoot it better than any gun I've owned. Not the cheapest, but you might find one in your price range.  Check em out online.

“Uggie” is the brand or is that a typo/auto-correct?

Actual name is Ugartachea but commonly referred to as Uggies.  You'll find info online under uggies.

The Weatherby Orion is not bad, I picked one up this spring. Sportsmans Wearhouse has them for under 1K. They are made in Turkey with Weatherby's design, warranty is handled by Briley in Texas.
