Kirk what is the roller chambered for? Saw the pic of you and your Montana Sharps display at Greeley. It looked good, it is in the latest Sharps Collector Report that came today...mb

I talked to Roy Marcot today about it. He is going to look the pictures over and give me his impression tomorrow.

I picked up an older Browning BPS in 20ga this weekend with two 26" bbls. 1st is the original factory IC and the other extra bbl threaded for tubes.
I like those BPSs with the bottom eject and tang safety. Perfect little bird gun.

Years back, I was bitching to an old fart about missing birds because of the full choke in the old pump. He pointed out that the center of the pattern is in the same spot regardless the choke.......Changed my way of thinkin LOL
Most all birds these days get shot with a 22lr or a 20ga with a modified choke.

My 20ga grouse gun (ruffed) is IC/M. I wish it was SK/IC sometimes. I also use a 30" single shot full choke Cooey 12ga for head shooting road birds while out on the ATV. We get a lot of birds that way when the dog is at home. Full 20 guage for me most shots are birds on ground or in trees. Dog loves to retrieve them. Its thick and steep up here.

We are heading out today with the digs, my son will likely take his 28 gauge FAIR with CYL/IC chokes and I will be using a vintage Hughes 14 gauge muzzle loader - (CYL/CYL of course) that I recently built a ram rod for and tightened up the hammers. It comes up nicely and kills manually thrown clays with no issues at all, so it shoud work just fine over the Small Mubsterlander. :>) Cat
scopes are cool, but slings 'n' irons RULE!

Been thinking about this and I just suspect that open chokes are the way to go. had my 28ga AyA opened from Mod/Full to Imp cyl/Skeet three. Skeet three was smiths idea, He said it was a bit more open than Mod. Thinking back on the grouse I have got into I suspect skeet/Imp cyl would be the way to go on a forest grouse gun. had an 870 Special Field bored Imp Cyl and it was pure death on grouse! Wasn't worth a darn in open country! have added a 28ga CZ Bobwhite and it has tubes, a first for me! Think, not sure right now, I have a skeet/Imp cyl in it. also have a 410 I use shooting pigeons for my dogs in training and it is full/full. Seems to work alright but one of these days I'd like to try it on grouse. Unfortunately I live in central Ore and not a lot of game birds anywhere near me now! need to make a trip back up to western Montana one of these days for forest grouse.

Skeet 3? Never heard of that. Skeet 1 is .005" constriction, IC is .010" constriction. Skeet 2 is .015" of constriction and is generally considered a Light Modified. Modified is .020".
