I handled one of the Orion's in Sportsmans yesterday. Seemed nice enough.
What's the general consensus on single vs double triggers? My gut says there might be more of a learning curve with the double.
wadu1:
Don't let double triggers bother you. In some ways they are better, less parts to go wrong. I have both in my stable of SXS doesn't bother me. If you are going with the classic look then check out some of the older ones. To name a few, Uggie's, AYA, SKB/Ithica Savage/Fox may be found in your budget. I would also read up on what to look for in specific SXS, Box lock over Side locks and how to ring the barrels to check solder joints.

I love classic doubles, but with non-toxic restrictions a modern gun is better. Not sure about OR, but WA is becoming harder to hunt without steel shot.
CP:
Yeah, double triggers are fine, but I find myself pulling the same trigger twice sometimes. That doesn’t work too well. But I love bringing the old double out every now and then.
CP:
Sorry about the "upland" ducks. How about some grouse instead?
