There's something about a 16 gauge side by side with a straight English stock that just feels right in the hands, and the Dickinson Estate nails that feeling. This is a trigger plate boxlock built with genuine bone-charcoal case hardening on the receiver, the old-school way, so those swirling blues and browns are the real deal rather than a sprayed-on imitation. Hand-engraved English scroll covers about a quarter of the metal, and the premier grade Turkish walnut wears a hand-rubbed oil finish with fine 24 lines-per-inch checkering. Plenty of folks who handle one for the first time guess it costs a whole lot more than it does.
At 5.7 pounds with 26 inch barrels and a 44 inch overall length, this gun was made for long walks behind a dog. The 16 gauge has always been the sweet spot for upland work, hitting harder than a 20 without the heft of a 12, and in a package this trim it comes alive between flushes. Double triggers give you instant barrel selection, the brass bead up front keeps the sight picture clean and traditional, and automatic ejectors kick the empties clear so reloads stay quick when the birds are moving.
Dickinson builds these with modern CNC machining underneath all the traditional finish work, which is a big part of why the barrels lock up tight and the action stays smooth season after season. You get five choke tubes covering Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full, so one gun handles everything from tight quail cover to late-season pheasants. A manual safety, checkered wood butt plate, and the slim English grip complete the package. If you've been wanting a proper double gun without stepping into five-figure territory, this one deserves a hard look.
It's the genuine article. Dickinson uses true bone-charcoal case hardening on the Estate's trigger plate receiver, the same traditional process found on high-grade doubles. That means each receiver has its own unique pattern of color, and it's paired with hand-engraved English scroll covering roughly 25 percent of the metal.
This model, ST1626DH, comes with double triggers, which many traditional side by side fans prefer for instant choke selection between barrels. It also has automatic ejectors that toss spent hulls clear when you break the action, so follow-up loading is fast.
Upland hunting is where this gun shines. At 5.7 pounds with 26 inch barrels and a straight English grip, it carries easily all day and swings fast on flushing birds like quail, grouse, woodcock, and pheasant. With five choke tubes included, it also makes a handsome companion for a casual round of sporting clays.
Dickinson Estate shotguns are built in Turkey by AKUS, a maker known for well-executed double guns, and imported by Dickinson. The guns are machined on modern CNC equipment and finished with hand checkering and hand engraving, which is a big reason they get compared to doubles costing several times as much.
