Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Sandcritter is an EVIL man!

Now I have a daytrip from home. And a daytrip for when I visit the in-laws this summer in NC.

You people are trouble.

Same here Ed, this one has 28" Krupp steel barrels and is a 6.5 lb 12 Bore SXS double, a real sweet shooting/swinging bird gun.

Let the record show, some of this evil influence started with Gunner and his light twelve A5 at a hog hunt a few years ago. Hadn't hunted a shotgun in twenty some years, and then was only recently again dabbling by myself at the range with a cz/ huglu and M37. Wasn't really "feeling" it again.

Anyway, had never shot an A5 until that day, and was such a night/ day difference in fit and snatching clays out of the sky... hell, I asked Jerry if he'd consider giving it a new home. No luck. Well, that's when the sickness began in earnest, chasing that elusive fit in interesting old guns. Reckon have found it by now, but too much fun to stop "looking".

I remember that day well Doc, hell, you couldn't miss with my old A-5, it was worth the price of admission just to watch you enjoy that old Belgium girl.

You know she is a three barreled set, has the 26" IC barrel you were shooting, a 30" Full for ducks, geese, Turkeys and the like, and a 24" barrel with rifle sights, I spect, if need be, a man could successfully hunt and kill all U.S. game with that set-up.

It shoots the 2-3/4" Brenekke KO slugs to 4 and 5" groups at 100 yards.

Outstanding! Glad to hear you're going to make it!

I can't wait!

Do I need to bring my double rifles?

Does a kitty have a climbing gear? Is pig nookie pork? Does a bear defecate in the forest?

Ed

Rah-Jah, thought you'd be up for a volley of 577 Nitro.

What the heck. I'm tired of my neck vertebra being in the same old places anyway.

A friend of mine showed his Boss SS shotgun from his collection. Nice looking firearm. I had no idea a shotgun could cost that much.

My wife of 50½-years came with a dowry ... a Parker VHE in 12-gauge.

The woman was worth it and the shottygun was totally, absolutely and damned well worth it!!!

God Bless,

LOL, I have 10 or so each of the Woodleigh 750 gr bullets, Ill load those up for plinking, have the rifle regulated to shoot to the sights with the Barnes softs and solids.

doc is an evil man

I keep saying that! Toss in Gunner500, EvilTwin, Crossfireoops, and sharpsguy, and you have a real terror team!

Ed

So ED, which one are you trying to sneak past Barbra? miles

Miles, I gave that up years and years ago.

Ed

It's only hard on your teeth

So I should wear a mouthguard when I shoot it?

Do I need to wear a cup, too?

if you ever get to phoenix, there is a special room at a private residence in paradise valley. Use to be run by the head of winchester's shotgun division until h is death. All high end shotguns. There are blanks for stocks in there that were alive two hundred years ago. One day i was in there and he handed me this very pretty shotgun, had a four barrel set. Price tag was ih the 300k range if i remember right. They were flying in italians yearly to do engraving. I couldn't put that gun down fast enough.
the thing i will always regret is choking up on the price on this little 28guage double called a tulip. Made in england turn of the century, english leather canvas case, cut glass oil bottle, and the grip on the stock was smaller that my wrist. I looked at that gun for over a year, and was stupid enought not to buy it.
