ljlc, every Savage double I've shot has printed one bbls pattern over the other close enough to work. Others report the same.MANY inexpensive doubles do not print where aimed/pointed, but at typical HD ranges it's not the problem is would be at say, 40 yards.

Shortening the bbls on a double oft cause the POA/POI to differ. The couple short bbled from the factory 311s I've shot didn't. In fact, with a skosh of stock fitting, they'd make good quail guns....

Patrick, we know about the 500s(G)...

Deonc, good price, great shotgun.

Turk, the A-5 is a classic. Works forever, and while initially expensive, cost goes very low on a per use basis.
