Just because some people are dumb enough to pay 160.00 a flat for regular 16 gauge shells don't make it right to charge that much. If you paid 50 a flat, and are a true hunter, shooter or re loader, o ... |

Would be nice if they did the standard Instinct in 16ga instead of another alloy receiver. Oh well, the wood is pretty awful on the Franchis, otherwise they would be tempting. |

FYI I bought my White Lightning new for a little less than that a few years ago. Worth it IMO to have to warranty of a new gun at that price point. The two Achilles heels of the Citori 16gas are fir ... |

MANY of them never heard of Wyoming, and those who had didn't know where Wyoming was!

Wyoming doesn't exist.

Seems like if you are going to cut the stock down any number of pads would work. The factory curved butt means you probably want to cut the butt straight one way or the other. I decided against this ... |

A few years ago, I drove over the mountain for my first chukar hunt. I was with a friend who had chased chukar a bit, and he showed me how to read the habitat. I was carrying my old b ... |

Solid deal for smaller feet. These look too stiff for an upland boot IMO, but I am sure many would like them. I had a pair of Lowa mountaineering boots, outstanding quality. |

Full and full. Wild pheasants usually take off at longer range than the planted ones.
