Nice job on the birds guys. I got a 9 1/2 incher on opening day in the Bitterroot. Headed out here in a few for bird #2.
Shrap demonstrated why I likely will never own another semi-auto...I had that happen once with my Rem 1100 while chucker hunting. I'm a pump and O/U type guy.
I guarantee you, that if your O/U had the dirt in it the Benelli did, you wouldn't have gotten the action closed.
