Op, what other characteristics are you looking for? LOP? Drop at heel? Cast? Chambers, chokes fixed? Weight? You say ya fall a lot, therefore if one meets all your functionality particulars, can it be dinged up some as long as it has no dents in bbls or rust? What made that old 2014 linked gun “perfect”? I’ve seen a bunch of nice spanish doubles under $5k, but if looks are to be negated by falling a lot (maybe), what are the most important attributes which attract you to a gun like you have in mind?


LOP can be 14' to 15", Drop = under 2", Cast off, 2 3/4" chambers, any chokes, under 7 lbs.,

The more "character" the better. I like a gun that has stories to tell. Dings, scratches not a big issue. I can even deal with something that needs to be rebuilt or reblued. Don't get me wrong, I love the new AYAs at Fieldsport and Garbis at William Larkin Moore but they just love them more I guess. The one I end up with will get dings and scratches. It will be hunted with when it's 34' F and raining/sleeting (my poor dogs). Whatever I have it is going to be hunted with.

That French Excelsior sidelock on Jacqua's looks like a very nice gun, but not too nice to take a few tumbles in the grouse woods. I know, not Spanish, but ooh la la. Very Happy
