Remington Peerless O/U. My first double gun purchase. Paid almost list price for it, felt because it said Remington it would be a quality gun. What a dog!. Triggers malfunction just when you are in the middle of a shoot. Top lever is way to the left after one year of moderate shooting (this is a sure sign of excessive wear in the locking mechanism). The gun shot so high I had to add over an inch to the recoil pad to get it to shoot flat. Bottom barrel rings when it is shot after the top barrel. Can't get a second set of barrels made for it. And it has been discontinued!

Took a bath on this one, still have it. Keep it to remind myself NOT to read gun tests in magazines. Ask other shooters before you buy!
