My trio of Browning BPS shotguns: 20 gauge Upland Special, 16 gauge Grade-III Hunter, and 12 gauge 3" Magnum NWTF turkey special. I might add a 28 gauge to the family soon. I am really starting to like these shotguns; put the 16 gauge on layaway a few months ago (two weeks after I bought the NWTF model) but picked it up last week.

Thanks. They were kind of an after thought. Done right by the hotel along the interstate. There were some really cool old buildings an farm implements in some of the fields that we walked. If I had been on my game, we'd have stopped and taken some pics there with the dogs too.

Not aftermarket, that is the wood that came on it. I've gotten a couple of Ruger No. 1's with better than average wood also. Doc Encore says I have been "blessed by the wood gods".

The Beretta has knocked down a few doves already, but alas she has already got a ding in that wood. Was standing too close to the SIL and his semi-auto shucks empties with gusto. Dang kids and their new-fangled semi-autos! frown



Chris,

Do you buy your guns off the rack or order them and when the box is opened you "Gasp" at the fine figured walnut you get to fondle.

The Beretta is beautiful.

If you don't mind what does it weigh and barrel length? Balance point?

Been getting ready for the upcoming season - this 16 gauge Model 12 pump will be doing the upland honors beginning with a dove hunt Labor Day weekend, followed by quail at Thanksgiving and rabbit in January. I'll let my Browning 12 gauge BPS handle the steelshot chores during duck and goose season (and the turkey hunting in the spring). Man's has gotta have a plan - mine is ready.

Soooo......what's the "rest of the story" on the cat and gun?

A special gun like that deserves more info!

This is the closest thing that I have maybe approaching something pretty, and that is actually probably worth a coupla' bucks. And despite being chumpchange in value compared to a lot of the shotty porn posted, even this thing I won't dare take into the blind or even for upland with me; far too nice for my clumsy self. wink In 100% NIB never-been-fired condition. I'll never use it, and will eventually get around to selling or trading it. DU 50th Anniversary 1987 Browning A-5 Light 12.

I have carried my K80 Dove hunting before and carry my 101 with custom wood pheasant hunting as well as most any other bird hunting I do. If it is really bad out, I have beater scatter guns for that.
Like asking would you enter your new car to a demolition derby...you could, but why would you.

Here's my contribution...
A neat little Bavarian 16ga. hammergun. Made by an "A.Doublon" in Ingolstadt, Bavaria. I figure it's 1890's to pre-WW1 vintage. Fluid barrels, 2 3/4 chambers,but I'll only shoot 2 1/2s with the old gal. Funny how that big cheek piece fits like a glove. This gun points well.
It was somebodys pride and joy as it has gold washed lock panels and a horn grip in back of the trigger guard.

It has 32 inch barrels and weighs 12 1/2 pounds....

it's a light , fine shooting 12 bore with brass cases and black powder.
