I actually got that thing in a SMOKING trade! I never needed a over/under my 870 always did the trick for me.
I had a well used 22-250 Sendero with a Burris Fullfield II I had for sale... Guy sent me an email with the new shotgun, offered me a straight up trade.. I couldnt turn it down! The gun came absolutely 100% from him. I was very impressed and now I love it! I think the only thing I would trade it for is the same thing in 20 guage, cuz its lighter!

I hunt with a 20 ga for everything but turkey and duck. I am working on a 20 ga set up for turkey....
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

I started with an 870 pump and shot it for years. Pumps are hard to be for duck hunting. They will shoot when a lot of autos freeze up....

Call me nutz over Browning superposed, especially superlights. Here's a little Diana 3 gauge set from '71 that I regret the most trading away The next few are from top to bottom, a Midas 20ga superlight, a .410 midas lightning with superlight stock (my plantation quail killer), and a 28ga P3 (since traded away) Next is a '61 12ga Pointer that I had restored to original: And a 12ga Midas Superlight:

Those are all super nice.... I think Brownings are hard to beat for the money. If I had to pick, that Diana 3 gauge set, would get my vote. Thank the good Lord we don't have to pick....

Yeah, lets not talk about it. I got a great piece in return, though. The guy that now owns it told me he turned down a $30K offer! Don Happy 4th, all........

You guys have some NICE shot guns. I get by with these. I cut my teeth on the 20 gauge 870. It was my first firearm purchased new in 1968. It came with a 28 inch full choke barrel and I latter added a 26 inch IC barrel. I bought the Red Label for $600. It's a 12 gauge with IC /Mod 26 inch barrels.

This is a pair of Rizzini/FAIR shotguns, top is an entry level 12 guage Premier, and the bottom on is my 20 guage Safari. The safari is actually built on a rifle frame, and comes with a set of 6.5X55 barrels also. Both guns shoot super, and the 20 is especially nice... Cat

This is not a fancy gun but a family stuff. I've retreived it yesterday, I had asked the gunsmith to perform some refreshing work. It has been my great grandfather shotgun, made in 1953 (gunmaker still unknown). That was its condition before refreshing (broken hammer spring, rusty and un-blued metal, scratches everywhere, cleared wood with disappearing checkerings): It's going to join back my nearly century old external hammers "bayard" shotgun and most recent Browning Ultra XS Tool. Three shotgun generations, from newest to oldest:

I've owned all sorts of shotguns, but I've gone almost completely vintage. Marlin Model 90's in 20, 16 and 12. I've put over 20K rounds through the 12ga in the last 2 years. Remington 31 in 20 ga and early 870 wingmaster in 12 ga. Weagle
