What it means to me is I can shoot a gun that doesn’t necessarily fit all that well and still hit some stuff. This gun, a CZ Redhead Premier All Terrain, is light and handy, and with the sight I can pretty much hunt anything within its range limits. We have some overlap of seasons here, which means I can carry a couple of slugs while hunting birds and pop a deer of opportunity, or even a bear if one happens by. It also is finished in dull green Cerakote, and has swivel studs. Very practical, if not very fetching.
I once owned a very pretty little Ithaca SKB 280E SXS given to me by my brother when he “upgraded” to a straight-grip Superposed. Like the Browning, he had refinished the stock in oil, and also had the receiver rust-blued. Problem was, I struggled to hit anything with it, even those “easy” ringnecks. Funny part was, he had been pretty deadly with the SKB, but never was as good with his upgrade.
