If you guys could have just one,and had a max of 100k to spend ,what sporting side by side shotgun would you go for(manufacturer/gauge)?
Below is my choice.

[gdmoody]

I would buy one of those 3-400 dollar Chinese double barrel coach guns in 12 gauge. The rest of the 100K I would spend on rifles and pistols!!

[hunter29180]

that sure is a PURDY shotgun!! but for regular usage would rather do what gdmoody said!!

[JLA]

Thats a good one. But Id opt for a the worlds only bolt action repeating double rifle..

I'd get me a couple Merkels

[BETH]

if i had 100k i would want a bunch of firearms not just one

[jack404]

i could get a Holland & Holland, get it engraved , as i wished and buy 4 more with the change

but i'd buy one as a heirloom gun and with the change, arm up big time

Winchester 21, 26" barrel 12G of the more "basic" variety, if you can call ANY 21 'basic.' And have the other $90+K left for rifles and handguns, and a whole bunch more Marlin 90's. Dunno why, but I love me some of those old Marlin stack barrel doubles.

[Oneida Steve]

I'm with jack. Holland & Holland would be my first choice.

[Boris]

Bertta o/u of some sort and beat the snot out of it. 682 or them likes

Then go slay some ducks and give the wood some character then spray paint it after a few years......

Oh wait I already did that lol,when I lived in MI ducks were my favorite hunt ing pass time.....

So I get $100,000 to spend on a single gun? I wouldn't even consider it.

But if I had to pick, I think I would pick something from Boss & Co. Of course, that $100,000 would limit me to the used guns. I mean, their site brags that even King George VI thought they were too expensive for him.

About 15 years ago I spent a whole afternoon at Holland and Holland on Bond Street in London. They knew as soon as I walked in the door that I couldn't afford their stapler much less any of their guns.... None the less one of their folks spent the better part of 3 hours with me, upstairs gunroom, downstairs shop, opened every cabinet handed me more guns than I can remember and didn't even mention the drool.
Finally sent me packing with a hard bound catalog and a neck scarf free of charge.
They could obviously spot a reverent pilgrim when they saw one.

That is worth part of the purchase price right there, not to mention the history that just oozes in.

I would get a Beretta 471 Silver hawk. Then spend the rest on reloading equipment and components.

If you held a OU shotgun HOMMIE stylz would that count as a SxS?

[jacksonco]

338 Lapua Mag and have a custom built platform for it built. The remaining cash would be for reloading equipment and a Wilson 1911 custom build.

Many years ago I hunted birds with a Japanese man on Kyushu. He had a Gordon setter and a Purdy double that he had acquired in Singapore. Being a nice guy, I offered to trade him my Win. model 12 for his Purdy even up. He laughted so hard, he almost wet himself. Beautiful gun, light, pointed like your finger. Had a pheasant and a grouse gold inlays. We had some great hunts. Most memorable was shooting woodcock over the rice paddies.

[myfriendis410]

Id think about a high end Krieghoff SXS, probably in something like 28 gauge. Either that or a custom fit AYA in the same gauge. Merkel is another good one.

[popgun]

100k spent on one gun? We can all dream I guess.
