| 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. |

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

Glad to hear it. I jest, sort of. |
