Visited a gentleman I know earlier this week who is a collector of drillings and combos. I got to see his private collection. All of the guns were exceptional, enough to make your mouth water, but there was one I would have loved to carry home. It was a Kreighoff O/U cape gun with 16ga on top and 6.5 X 58 on the bottom. Must have had 22"-24" barrels and could not have weighed 6 pounds. Beautiful engraving. I used to think drillings were the ultimate and I still love them, but I keep getting drawn to the combos, the SXS and O/U higher quality ones. There are so many varieties of combos out there with all kinds of unique features, most with beautiful engraving, neat sights, and they are mostly petite and light guns. I plan to use my Simson/Suhl cape (16ga X 25-35) a lot this hunting season, especially for turkey. If I could scare up the funds, I'd buy the Kreighoff O/U to go with it.
Seems the threads have been light lately, so I thought I'd add my thoughts on combos.
