I have a 101 that I bought in 1985 and love it. In my younger years, I didn't usually need the second barrel for single birds and mostly used it to double. Don't know where that went. I do think it is a bit heavy if you're longer in the tooth. I bought a Weatherby Orion in 20 that is lighter and have since also picked up a Benelli Montefeltro that is lighter still. They are good guns.
