Expensive Side by Side Shotgun vs Cheap Reliable Gun

- Is it wise to buy the best?
Welcome to yet another rendition of cheap gun vs expensive gun, this time focussed on a couple of guns purchased from the Holts Auction House ( www.holtsauctioneers.com ) over the past few years.
Joined by the legend that is Simon Reinhold, we pitch two guns against each other for a casual bit of driven clay shooting - One is a best london sidelock (or it was before a few lifetimes of abuse) and the other a humble boxlock - Which shall prevail??
Enjoy

I was at the local range patterning a side-by-side with some cheap ammo when I saw an old man and a boy watching. The boy asked: "Grandpa, how come you don't see many shotguns with the barrels beside each other." The old man replied gruffly: "Because people have lost their damned sense of taste."
I certainly followed Simon's advice once I bought my first vintage SxS. Bought a bigger safe and started buying more guns. LOL Now I'm around 20 vintage SxS and in the market for the next safe!
Thank you so much for these great videos! Since I am in the US, I appreciate that you show the British hunting and shooting traditions. It is very interesting to me! I particularly like the videos that feature Simon, as I love side by sides. His knowledge of side by sides is extraordinary and he always has beautiful and interesting guns to share. I would really like to see you do a video of rough shooting/walk up hunting that you were discussing in this video. Cheers from the US!
Simon! Open an American branch for Holts, and import all of these "underappreciated" classics! You'll retire within the year!
Simon’s final comments are golden. Shoot whatever you have and learn from it.
All the old side by side guns are great to see. The common man needed a good functioning shotgun.
Videos like these are the reason why I'm falling in love with side by side shotguns. I have one question: is a front heavy side by side better for a person who shoots with a semi automatic shotgun?
Here in Canada we get a lot of used European SxS shotguns. I guess people in Europe, particularly then Nordics have to get rid of their old rifles and shotguns, and they get collected and sold here for peanuts. I am very thankful for that. We get anything from German, French, Hungarian, Russian, Finnish, Swedish, Swiss, Austrian, British, etc. I have a hammerfired Husqvarna SxS and I swear it was barely used because the wood was mint. I got it for $275 CAD.
*guilty 😂 6th side by side bought from Holt's already
On a serious note, interesting talk of the American market, and right on point.
Wonderful guns. You are very blessed to have access to wonderful guns at affordable prices.
Great video! I really enjoy watching these video's you do with Simon and especially about double guns. Do more of these please.
I recently got a cheap AYA Yeoman ejector and I'm in love with side by sides now, strangely I'm pretty handy with it and get better scores with a SBS than my OU 20 bore. I'm hooked!
Thank you TGS. It was so good to breathe fresh air.
Some months ago I aquired a very nice 100 year old E M Reilly 16 bore hammer gun, am getting better at clays with it and love it to bits. Like you said, you can miss in style with an old SXS. My M2 is feeling neglected.
Beautiful video and a wonderful and interesting conversation. Excellent!
Yeah, we don't get nearly as much vintage double for the money over here. £200 currently = $263. $250 - 300 might get you into a shootable old Stevens, which could maybe be thought of as an American Baikal.
Great video! I fell in love with side by sides and the first one I got was a Husqvarna 310A. It's been a joy to shoot, and cost right around $200.00. now I've been saving for a true trap grade SxS and can't wait for the day I can finally take it home.
Oh yes! Sunday morning with TGS, heavenly!
I love these videos! Cheers from across the pond.
