Mesa,

As I remember, Browning did some tests back in the 1950s with 3" chambers and 2 3/4" ammo. They found they had marginally better patters with 2 3/4" ammo out of 3" chambers than they got out of 2 3/4" chambers, so they figured "why not 3?".

But as much as I love European doubles I have a soft spot for M-12's, especially SR 16 & 20 ga versions, and had this one built for ptarmigan hunting here on the Alaskan peninsula.

My shotguns are not as fancy as some of you guys have but they serve me well. I have a 1968 Remington 870 Wingmaster, Benelli Super 90 and a Marocchi O/U 12ga. mod. Zero 3

I maybe send some picks later grin

I have an old style Ruger 20 with the blue receiver with 26" barrels choked sk/sk. It is in the back of the vault and I have not shot it in years. Good old gun, it is what I bought when I was starting to shoot skeet when I stopped shooting a pump.

I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects

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

The Marocchi are very good shotguns, IMO. I used one in Africa in 9,3X74R & 12ga. It was their gun they made for the Valmet 412/512 line. It had double triggers and was very well made and reliable.

Marocchi shotguns are excellent and the 512 Finn model is also quite common around here. Here are some picks:

I traded for this 28 ga. Merkel a couple of years ago. Puglisi Gun Emporium in Duluth, MN had the gun and we were able to put together a deal.

It handles and shoots as good as it looks.

This is my Benelli Super Black Eagle. I've been shooting it since they first came out. Love it!

Looks like some vintage and very fine Ithaca trap guns.

Is that a Remington sitting between the '97 and M-12?
