Someone else will be looking also.


A 7.5 pound Ruffed Grouse gun, unless you are extremely strong, is not a Grouse gun that will become a favorite.


My grouse hunts rarley go over 2-3 hours and I carry a 8# sxs now so weight hasn't been an issue, but I will keep this in mind. Just too busy taking care of the home place when I'm up north to block out any more time than that.
Maybe get the feather version!


Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?
