Rather than obsess over chamber length, I went ahead and placed an order with RST for some 2.5”

Expensive, but I applied “hunter higher math”, weighing price of ammo versus how many shots I may act ...

4-600 seems right for a plain barreled gun with typical moderate wear, I would expect a solid rib to put them where you've observed, maybe $100 less at the peak but always depending on condition. Min ...

Best of the new year to you and yours, Dave, and good times in the woods and on the waters for 2026!

Omaha's public range used to run a skeet league with teams shooting each week on their own schedule, no head-to-head matches. They recently turned that to a format of individual scoring, they may hav ...

I know you'll keep picking yourself back up, Dave, hoping you get a favorable weather change and have some opportunities to try each of the guns you're planning on shooting over your Gordon!

I had two at one point, both with double triggers, it took a while to get the stocks dialed in (which can be the case with any gun) and they performed as well as any of my other guns. As a fan of Win ...

Nice collection! When I owned a couple of 21s, they turned out to both be 1940 production. Also a Winchester guy, they were a natural follow-on to Model 12 16's as bird guns. Enjoy yours!

Dave, that IS a deal! Hope it works out as planned, and that the roughcut cabins act as a good backup. It'd be hard to stay away.

Good luck this season!

Dave, it's hard to imagine you without the camp, or the other way around, actually, smack dab in that beautiful country. Everything runs its course though, and I'm glad to see you're staying a step a ...

I'm with you, Dave, the Winchester Model 12, Ithaca 37 and Browning's beautiful Auto-5 make up an unbeatable collection of fine quality guns! Not to disparage the 870s, M31, 1100 or any other repeate ...

No 16ga, had 2 12s and 2 20s, only shot clays with them though. I got my German hunting license in 1985 and wound up shooting a pig, a chamois and a roe deer, Chernobyl the following year cut pretty ...

Sorry to hear that Heston has left us, Dave.

One piece wad, should be a Gualandi.

I didn't read all of it, but in the section on snaring he revealed he started out that way and later regretted it. Just seems like a normal progression for a hunter in those days, no harm done as he ...

I don't know, Dave, he doesn't mention 16ga anywhere I could see. You sure about this guy?

He does mention snaring the birds, but it ...
