The reason I like it is because it fits me so well. I've shot other doubles and most are too straight. I have a long neck and I can't get down on them which makes me shoot high. This one has more drop to the stock and I can shoot it fine. I wish I could afford a quality gun made to the same dimensions.
I haven't hunted with it in a long time but it stays handy in the house with loads of buckshot inside. A double is a good self defense gun. Besides being fast to reload, a bad guy gets intimidated when looking down into 2 big black holes pointed at his chest.



I have the same gun. I bought it a Meijers in the early 70's still in fine shape!

My BIL bought one at the same time I did. They had 2 on the shelf. Mine is choked IC/M and his is M/F. We've patterned them and there really isn't much difference. His is in much better shape than mine but mine has had a lot more hard use.
