Got any good shots of your favorite shotgun while afield? Let's See em!! Last January. End of deer season in Deep South Texas and it was the best quail season I've seen in at least 35 years! 20 minutes around the cabin and I got these and three more for supper! We paired them with some steaks!!! I said to heck with deer hunting and hunted quail all weekend! What fun! My fav old beater Model 12. Mfg in 1924. 12 gauge full it's a great gun!!!

However as plain jane as the Model 59 may be, you would have to look hard to fined a more efficient Eastern Ruffed Grouse shotgun. laissez les bons temps rouler

My brother and I have each killed a buck with it. My brother has shot a couple of low flying snow geese with it during a heavy fog that forced the snows down from the stratosphere. Also a fair amount of doves and a few ducks. I bought a '50 model 12 field grade with a modified choke but just haven't used it. Maybe this fall.

I don't think they were near as ugly as some of the stuff now being produced! I seriously considered one when we had that gaggle of them at the shop. There were at least two nice ones in that sounder! Get that 12 out this season too! Use it! Want to see more in the field pics!!!!

Parker by Winchester; Mixed bag day and a nice Deer shed find. ] Model 12. First Birds Merlot had shot over him. Hot nasty day and I didn't blame him for jumping into a mud puddle. Rain kept his motor pretty cool this day. Model 59. Two firsts. I think it is Toby's first Grouse and my first one with the 59. Nope, when I think of it. Toby had made the cut earlier.

They pay over $1000 for the others and think they have the something special. They work fine and if it makes them enjoy their days afield that's what counts. However, hope there are a few others out there that may join in. Would enjoy seeing what they have. laissez les bons temps rouler

Sold 2 this past winter. I have one really nice one mfg in 1916. Solid rib. I'll try to get a pic of it posted later! PS! Wifey loved that pic of Toby too!!! Last edited by kaywoodie; 08/08/16.
