A 27.5" barreled BRNO sidelock 16 gauge with chokes opened to .005" and .015". It isn't pretty but I hit better with it than any other one I own.

I hunted all one fall in Ireland with a "black widow" BRNO just like that one. Borrowed it from one of my wife's many Donegal relatives. Probably totally illegal but the local Garda hunted with us, so apparently nobody cared. This was, however, in the mid-1960s before "The Troubles" started up again in Ulster.
A very useful and sturdy gun.

This rare little gem "fell into my lap" last week. She's a 16 ga. Husqvarna Model 44 built sometime before 1884. Once her chokes are opened up I'll be carrying her in my grouse and woodcock coverts this fall.

Grayphase, that is one handsome Husky! I assume it is chambered 65mm/2 1/2"? What shells will you use?

I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

Sherman did the stock on my K80 and on my Winchester 101. He does a great job.
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

EVERYBODY is pro-gun, some just don't know it. When an anti-gun person is in trouble, the first thing they do is call 911 and demand that they send somebody with a gun!
