I have 2 16ga. shotguns. Ones a single shot that my dad got back in the 40's. It really does kick like a mule! LOL! The second is a Stevens model 30 pump action take down. I really screwed up when I sold my very early Remington 870 ADL Deluxe 16ga.! One I'd definitely like to get back. I know it's a pump, but there's a couple model 30's on gunbroker for around $200.
It isn't what happens to you that defines you, it's what you DO about what happens to you that defines you!
