I could never make up my mind on an 12 gauge...first gun I ever had that was mine is a model 37 Ithaca Trap with an extra mod barrel...then grandad gave me his model 12, I thought I needed a new shotgun and bought a BPS stalker, one of the first balck guns, wood stock painted crinkle black.
My dad finally gave up hunting an gave me the @-5 light he save for and bought when I was in highschool. I've been shooting that better and better...last fall shot more roosters than ever. Now I have my other grandad's A-5 16, 2.5" shells are hard to come by, but my first shot put a ringneck in the truck...guess I'm hooked.
Then I had to have an SBE...got one of them and can't hit CHIT!
Sure glad I kept the A-5's....
