Thanks, fellas! I'm a lucky guy. I live in upland paradise. I've had several more days like the first few, and I'll be back at them again tomorrow and Monday. I may try the RBL 28 this time though.

My 1620 works like a fine watch. Glad yours is now as well. Nice little guns.
But what of those patterns you were shooting? These guns seem to all be choked a bit tight. Mine is something ... |
