There is something about a side by side with real case colors that a photo never quite captures. The Dickinson Plantation earns its looks the old way, with a receiver finished in true bone-charcoal case hardening rather than a chemical imitation, then dressed up with hand-engraved English scroll across the cosmetic side plates. Underneath that traditional exterior sits a proven trigger plate mechanism, so you get classic styling without the fussy internals of a vintage gun.
This version wears an English-style straight grip stock in premium hand-fitted Turkish walnut with a hand-rubbed oil finish and a checkered wood butt plate. That straight grip is not just for looks. It encourages a natural, heads-up mount and quick swings on flushing birds, which is exactly why upland hunters have favored the configuration for over a century. The 28 inch gloss blued barrels give you enough sighting plane for smooth follow-through without making the gun feel muzzle heavy, and a simple brass bead up front keeps your focus where it belongs, on the bird.
The 2.75 inch chambers pair nicely with the light field and target loads most people feed a 20 gauge double anyway, and the interchangeable choke system lets you set the gun up for early season quail over dogs or tighten things down for late season pheasant. The manual safety and break-open action keep operation dead simple, and the two-round capacity is all a bird gun needs.
Dickinson builds these in Turkey with a level of wood-to-metal fit and hand craftsmanship that regularly surprises people at the gun counter. If you have been wanting a proper English-styled game gun without stepping into vintage double pricing territory, the Plantation is one of the best-looking ways to get there. It is the kind of shotgun you find excuses to take out of the safe.
It is the real deal. Dickinson uses a true bone-charcoal case hardening process on the Plantation receiver, the same traditional method used on classic doubles, so each gun shows its own unique swirl of case colors. The hand-engraved English scroll on the side plates is done over that finish for a genuinely classic look.
This model is chambered for 2.75 inch 20 gauge shells, so stick with 2.75 inch or shorter loads. That covers virtually every field, target, and upland load on the shelf. For a light double like this, standard field loads are the sweet spot for both comfort and performance.
Yes, the Plantation side by side uses an interchangeable choke system, which is a nice upgrade over the fixed chokes found on many traditional doubles. That lets you run open chokes for close-flushing birds over dogs or tighten up for longer passing shots. Swapping tubes takes just a minute with a choke wrench.
The straight English grip is the traditional configuration for upland game guns. It positions your hand for a fast, instinctive mount and smooth swing, and it trims a bit of bulk and weight from the stock. If you have only shot pistol grip stocks, the English grip usually feels natural within a box or two of shells, and plenty of bird hunters never go back.
