They have already discontinued the Beretta 3901 RL which was the only gun that fit my wife. She uses it to trap shoot and loves it. Almost no recoil. You can find these but beware they don't have Beretta barrels now (they are putting Stoeger barrel on the ones they are unloading). The forend fit is terrible so I bought her a Beretta barrel. There are does and don't on lubrication of the gas operated Beretta.

This is a video by Rick Gump the service manager of BerettaUSA regarding the Beretta 391 maintenance.

Since January, I've gone through around 40. Just ordered 20 flats today. It takes a concentrated effort to keep up. grin



These just arrived yesterday and since I was down to two boxes, it's a good thing. One flat is gone already.

Battue I was buying Kent's by the Pallet. I stopped because my local Dicks Sporting goods was selling Federal Targets for $49- a flat. I talked to the manager and told him if he stopped opening the flats and putting the boxes on the selves he would sell more. He said that if I wanted to buy them by the flat in high volume then he would sell me them for $39- a flat. Guess what I am shooting now?

MCH,

$39 per flat is late 1990s pricing. Buy all you can. We paid $49. for these RIOs and it was a group buy that was huge.

Redneck,

I could put myself through Harvard on the money I've thrown out the end of a shotgun barrel. Hint: I'm not that bright and it would take longer than normal. frown

No more room in the garage for anymore right now. I am sure I could have bought a small house with the money I have spent shooting.

The Winchester "Super X" model 1 keeps running for me. I have Beretta 303's, and 390's and Rem 1100's but the Super X is my gun of choice for it's workmanship.

I would have agreed, until I got the Beretta XCell. Not the same workmanship or all steel parts, but for function it has the SuperX Model 1 beat. Combined with the fact when something does break replacement parts will be easier to obtain and they are easier to clean.

I have three Model 1's and used one exclusively for a few years. A great semi that unfortunately became too expensive to make and be competitive in pricing. Much like the old Model 70.

The invite is open to all campfire members. If you are going to be in the Pittsburgh area, PM me. We have many courses within 1 and 1 1/2 hour drive.

Wife and I are talking about a vac. and PA has come up. If we head that way this fall, will let you know.


I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects

I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

Don't know if the wife shoots, but if not there are a couple places that will have something for her to do.

One of them:

Another club within an hours drive that is mainly shooting related:

Battue what do you have against this one?

well besides the fact that they are Orvis endorsed?

Absolutely nothing, a great place to shoot and they have two courses set up. One fairly tough and one easier. Another great place for a non-shooting wife. Also a great vacation destination for a couple in and of itself, especially in the fall.

Only reason I didn't mention it was that it is 1hour and 40 minutes from Pittsburgh which makes for a 3hour plus drive back and forth. Combined with shooting it makes for a long day for someone on a schedule.

If Pullit and his wife want to stay there, I know the people who run the shooting facility well. I make the drive on a regular basis and would be more than willing to hook up with them there.

Addition: I also may be able to get them a deal on room rates. Nemacolin is a special place.

They probably lose $10,000 on that shoot. Don't know how long that will continue, but the Sporting Clay facility is one of the few venues there that consistently turns a profit.

Nemacolin was a respected Indian Chief of the time.

The French and Indian war started there and it was a killing field. Braddock lost his life right down the road and Washington came close to losing his twice during that war.

Beautiful countryside and Ohiopyle State park which is close by is a visual jewel.

I have kayaked the Youghiogheny several times. A couple years ago 8ft above flood. It was very fun big pushy water. A lot different from the steep creeks I mostly paddle.

One year I stayed at that little historic Stonehouse Inn. That was a pretty neat place.

Isn't 7 Springs close by there too?

I'm guessing less than an hour drive.

Have stopped at the Stone house a time or two to have a beer. Neat old place.
