Small upgrades to fit and patterning yield big improvements in field performance.
Always store side by side shotguns unloaded in a locked safe or cabinet. After use, wipe barrels and action to remove moisture, and lightly oil metal surfaces to prevent corrosion. Inspect hinge pins, locking surfaces, and choke threads regularly. Use padded cases for transport to protect wood stocks and barrel alignment, and keep shells stored separately in a cool, dry place.

Are side by side shotguns good for upland hunting?
Yes. Their balanced swing and quick follow-up capability make side by side shotguns excellent for flushing birds in tight cover. Many upland hunters prefer the natural pointing these guns provide.
Is 16 gauge still a practical choice?
Absolutely. The 16 gauge offers a lively balance of pattern density and lighter weight compared to a 12 gauge, favored by hunters who want good performance with less recoil.
Can I mount a red dot on a side by side shotgun?
Many modern side by side models accept low-profile mounts or rail adapters. Choose compact optics that preserve the gun’s balance and do not interfere with the sighting plane.
How do I care for an engraved or fine-finish side by side?
Wipe metal and wood after use, store in a stable humidity environment, and avoid harsh chemicals on fine finishes. Use padded cases for transport and check for moisture before long-term storage.
What does barrel regulation mean for side by side shotguns?
Barrel regulation is the alignment process that ensures both barrels point to the same point of aim at intended distances. Proper regulation improves consistency between the top and bottom barrels.
