There is something special about a small-bore double gun, and the Dickinson Estate Combo 282EB gives you two of them in a single package. This set pairs 28 inch barrels in 28 gauge and .410 bore on one receiver, so you can chase quail with the 28 in the morning and hand the gun off with .410 barrels for a newer shooter that afternoon. The receiver is properly scaled to the small gauges rather than borrowed from a bigger frame, which keeps the whole gun trim and quick between the hands. With the .410 barrels mounted it comes in right around five and a half pounds, the kind of weight you stop noticing on a long walk behind a dog.
These guns are built in Huglu, Turkey by AKUS, a shop that blends traditional handwork with modern CNC machining, and it shows. The boxlock receiver wears true bone-charcoal case hardening with hand-cut English scroll covering about a quarter of the metal. The Grade 2 Turkish walnut stock gets a hand-rubbed oil finish, fine 24 lines-per-inch checkering, and a checkered wood butt plate instead of a rubber pad, a nice traditional touch on a light-recoiling gun like this. Automatic ejectors kick spent hulls clear so reloads stay fast when the covey flushes wild.
A two-barrel set is one of the smartest ways to own a quality double. You get one stock fit and one trigger feel across both gauges, so your gun mount never changes. The 28 gauge is a legitimate upland performer with surprisingly stout patterns for its size, while the .410 makes a superb trainer and a fun challenge on clays. The brass bead up front and manual safety keep operation simple and familiar. Barrel swaps take seconds, no tools needed, just break the action, pull the forend, and switch. For anyone who appreciates a classic side by side with real handwork in it, this combo covers a lot of ground with one gun.
The 28/.410 combo is built on a receiver scaled to the smaller gauges, not a larger 20 gauge frame. That is a big part of why it handles so nicely, with the gun weighing in around 5.5 pounds depending on which barrel set is mounted. Dickinson also offers a 20/28 combo on the bigger frame if you want a bit more heft.
Dickinson Estate side by sides are manufactured by AKUS in Huglu, Turkey, a region known for its shotgun-making tradition. The factory combines hand fitting, hand checkering, and hand engraving with modern CNC machining. It is the same maker behind some other well-regarded imported doubles, and build quality has a strong reputation for the money.
It takes seconds and no tools. Remove the forend, break the action, lift off one barrel set, and drop the other in its place. Since both sets are regulated to the same receiver and stock, your fit and sight picture stay consistent no matter which gauge you are running.
It shines as an upland gun for quail, dove, grouse, and woodcock, where its light weight pays off over miles of walking. The .410 barrels also make it a great trainer for new or smaller-framed shotgunners and a fun challenge on skeet and sporting clays. It is also simply a handsome double for anyone who appreciates traditional case colors and real walnut.
