Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

There is a reason bird hunters keep coming back to a proper side by side, and the Dickinson Estate makes a strong case for the tradition. This break action double wears a pair of 28 inch barrels over 2.75 inch chambers, holds two rounds, and points the way a classic game gun should. It comes out of Turkey's well-regarded shotgun country, from the same manufacturing lineage that built doubles for some big-name American brands, and the fit and finish reflect that pedigree.
The receiver is the showpiece here. Dickinson uses true bone-charcoal case hardening, the old-school process that produces those swirling blues and straw colors you usually find on guns costing a whole lot more. Hand-engraved English scroll covers roughly a quarter of the metal, and the box lock action keeps the profile clean and trim. The premier grade Turkish walnut is finished in hand-rubbed oil and cut with fine 24 lines per inch checkering, capped off with a checkered butt plate. Automatic ejectors kick spent hulls clear so reloads stay quick when the birds are moving.
All the pretty wood in the world doesn't matter if a gun won't carry and swing well, and this is where the Estate earns its keep. The 28 inch barrels give you a smooth, deliberate swing that suits pheasants, doves, and sporting clays alike, while the simple brass bead up front keeps your focus on the target where it belongs. A manual safety and straightforward break open operation mean there is nothing complicated between you and the shot. Owners tend to rave about how these guns balance and how nicely the barrels are struck, and it is common to hear them compared to doubles at several times the price. For anyone who has been wanting a genuine side by side without a custom-shop wait, this one deserves a serious look.
The Estate is built in Turkey's shotgun-making region and imported to the US by Dickinson. The same factory lineage produced side by sides sold under Smith & Wesson and Kimber names years back, so the platform has a solid track record. Fit and finish are consistently praised by owners and reviewers.
This gun runs automatic ejectors, which is a nice touch at this level. When you break the action open, fired hulls are kicked clear of the chambers so you can reload fast. Unfired shells are simply lifted for easy removal by hand.
This version is chambered for 2.75 inch shells, which covers the vast majority of field, target, and upland loads on the shelf. Standard 2.75 inch ammunition is all it needs, and that keeps recoil pleasant in a trim double gun. Stick with loads appropriate for the choke you have installed.
Yes, Estate side by sides ship with five flush-mount chokes covering Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full, plus a wrench. That range lets you set each barrel up independently, which is one of the perks of a double trigger style game gun. Tight chokes for late season birds, open chokes for close flushes or clays.
