There are a lot of good pics in this thread, it was a great idea. I will find some more, plenty around. The gun in my pic there is a Citori in 16ga. I use 16ga almost exclusively, several will show up from time to time in my pictures.
Ken cool photo.. Sad when this time comes... My life long pal just lots his shorthair at 14 years.. He is 72.. Said that is his last dog, those days are over, even more sad...
April 2019 -- Preserve Hunt Mic is 16, deaf and no teeth. This was her only hunt for 2019 and she found a bird left over from the previous day - different group. She loves upland hunting and perhaps if everything works out she will get a hunt again in a very controlled setting this year at 17.
Man look at the forearm wood on that A5... nice gun.
In the old days Browning would re-blue a entire A-5 for $75 bucks.... I doubt that is the case anymore.
Either way these new light weight guns don’t pull up like the older ones, even the benelli SBE and M2’s are well balanced, but the ultralight is so light you have to pull it up differently.

She's a grand old girl. Thank you for sharing her with someone who loves all these dogs, and especially old friends.
Great pics duksdog. In addition for the others, that shotgun is like a lightening quick well balanced saber...."A swordsman chooses his weapon with care" most certainly applies here....
Montana wild birds note three different color variations. Trooper the wonder dog, ducks and geese on the coast, pheasant and quail inland, sharpies and huns in MT and grouse and woodcock in WI, he lived to hunt.
