Left to right.

Marine Magnum, SpeedFeed stock. Home protection.
Savage 24D, .22 LR over 20-gauge. My first shotgun I hunted with.
Weatherby Grade III Athena 12-gauge (Made by SKB)
SKB 885 20-Gauge (They fit me lkike a glove.)
Winchester Model 25 (Poor man's Model 12. My Grandpa Turk bought this in 1954)
Winchester 1897 My Great Grandpa Graham's shotgun, he bought used before WWI. This one was built in 1900.

Shotguns can be many things. Tools to feed a family, protect ones loved ones. and a work of art. A lot of history in these 6.

If there is any proof of a man in a hunt it is not whether he killed a deer but how he hunted it.

New shootin iron! I have been looking for an 1100 LT 20ga and stumbled on this 870 28ga with a factory skeet barrel, should make a great grouse/woodcock gun.

Gun is near mint save the 2 small rust sopts seen in the 3rd pic. Love me some 28ga!

Passport, that's a sweet-looking little 1100 there!

I don't have much experience behind a 28-gauge. I'm really a pretty terrible wingshot and need all the lead out there I can muster, so I tend to stick with 12's. (If they allowed me to hunt pheasants from a 4-wheeler with a 2-gauge punt gun I'd probably give it a go...)

But I do really like the Remington 1100, and that is a fine specimen. Enjoy!

Sure,

This is from opening day this spring, but it is more of my Son's than their guns:

My older Son uses his Grandfather's Valmet 330. I shot enough pheasants with that gun in the late 70's to fill my soul forever.

I love those old Savage/Valmets: they always work. Just gave my Marine son my 330 12 ga. 28" M/F, but I still have 2 Model 2400 combination guns, a 12x.222 Rem and a 12x.308 Win, a custom-stocked 333 Skeet 12 ga., and an original 12 ga Valmet "Lion" from before Savage started importing them. Like most Finnish arms, they were designed to work in the very coldest weather, and they do.

The "Valmet" top locking system was originally designed in Bohemia (before it was Czechoslovakia), patented in France in 1922 and manufactured in France in the 1920s, then incorporated in the Remington Model 32 in 1932 when the European patent expired. Remington made the models 32 and 3200 on that patent, then Kreighoff started using it after WWII and Valmet in the early 1950s. Savage began importing Valmets in the mid-1960s and stopped in the early 1970s. Then they began making them in Italy (Tikka) and still do, I think.

Passport, 0000 steel-wool and some light gun oil will take those to little splotches of rust right off, just don't be too aggressive. Nice Shotgun! Fishfowler, I really like those old doubles being used by youngsters - classy!

Here's my collection of shotguns.
Top gun is Winchester Super X 1 12 ga. 2nd is a Beretta 391 12 ga. 3rd is a Baikal 28 gauge O/U and the bottom one is a Browning BPS 12 ga. Sure wouldn't mind to add a 20 ga auto to the batch

Years of beat up stock is hiding some great walnut...well heck the whole gun could use a good cleaning but seems to be an honest gun with good bores and no cracks.

Just picked up a new waterfowl gun (after doing a lot of looking for over a year) - a new Browning Magnum Twelve (MFG 1991).
