I couldn't care less why International Trap shooters like their doofus looking, thick receiver, dangerous single release trigger, weird-ass adjustable comb, and erector set sighting rib O/Us.
I much prefer 20 gauge sxs upland wing shooting over dogs. It is a true field sport, not some game.
For the simple reason that over-unders perform better and are more intuitive to use. I have both and I like both. Eschewing one form of weapon on purely aesthetic grounds is foreign to me. Unless, of course we're talking Glocks. Those things are just hideous.
I fear our host has slipped out the garden window and left the party. My guess (in increasing order of probability) is that he: 1) is dead, 2) has busted out in the markets and is now working 15 hours a day to recoup, or 3) is now married or something very close to it. Of course one hopes that he is merely taking a sabbatical from the interwebz in order to sail around the world or at least to the South Pacific.

Old boy - is that an original picture, or just something from the web? Beautiful shotgun. I like over unders, but that is spectacular.
Compared to a fine double gun, swinging an over/under through an arc is like swinging a 1x12 plank held vertically.
Jacobite, I'm not trying to be a wise guy, but if you are correct, then why does every Olympic shooter I've ever seen use an O/U?

Perhaps he was training for, and now participating in the WC Rugby.
