Elkhunter49: WOW!
That is a beautiful shotgun.
Good for you and congratulations on the retirement.
I was kind of expecting a firearm from the VarmintWife upon the occassion of my retirement but she surprised me (and the two VarmintSons!) with an absolutely amazing 3 week, 3 island vacation in Hawaii!
I will remember that gift as long as I live and it surpassed my expectations immensely!
Enjoy your gift and enjoy your retirement.

I have several 686's and love them dearly. None of them have as a distinctive stock as the the one you purchased. That is a potential heirloom piece.

I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Thanks for all the comments folks! If the rain will quit I'm going to break some clay and start to loosen it up a bit.

Great wood and a great gun. I have a Beretta SP in 28 gauge and it is my go to gun for doves.
Congrats on retirement, its great! Nice! I did the same thing with a 410 Lightning. I can't wait to retire a couple more times!
