Elections have consequences, let's hope the next ... |

Thanks Bobby, appreciate it.
It will clearly be a conversation piece this Fall (for several of my associates) and it actually might become a daily gun on some of the longer grouse trails up in Minn ... |

From a Vic Venters article in Shooting Sportsman:
Two-inch 12s were never made in great numbers; one niche seems to have been with walk-up red-grouse shooters in Scotland and northern England. Aft ... |

Well....24-gauge stuff is pretty exotic IMHO. It all boils down to function for me, if it works well then I'll hunt it religiously. If it doesn't kill for me then...it's gone.
You're right btw, 7 ... |

8mm Fan: Thankyou.
2-inch guns are probably bad recoilers for a number of reasons and most are fairly obvious, but the available American 2-inch shells are mostly all loaded for 15/16 of an ounce ... |

| Filled in at the shop yesterday and got a chance to research this little 2-inch gun. Very early production, likely 1930. I even might have found a case for it....all good omens, right? |

Just signed-up for a clean little Skimin & Wood 2-inch gun. Almost identical dimensions to my Brummy BLE 16 (28-tubes, 14 1/2 lOP) but... this one is a 12 that weighs 5lbs1(!).
I've wanted on ... |
