Here's a Ranger 16ga for sales at Cabela's which, I believe (and Larry Brown will correct me if I'm wrong!) is a Hunter Arms Fulton. Not a bad looking gun at what seems a reasonable price, and it's on their sale page; they might dicker.

Good find Fin. About a 1/2 pound too heavy but would make a nice pheasant gun. And what are you doing looking at guns when the new 20g Sterly is on the way Very Happy

Rev need to keep a close eye on old fin. I think he's drifting over to the dark side but in all honesty I've kind of been thinking about a 20 gauge Sterlingworth or A grade you know just to have around to use as a bad example and such.

A 20? Why bother. Get a 28 if you must but a 20 is nothing but a 16 without any cojones. Wink

That's a nice gun. I used to own it, and as noted above, it'd be great for pheasants. Good dimensions if you don't need a real long LOP. Bores are about perfect, nice and tight, good clean gun.

Hey Larry, are the barrels really 28-3/16" Shocked or does the Cabela's guy just have a loose catch end on his tape measure Question

and seeing as you are a former owner I'm very interested in this gun.

does it have 2.75" chambers?

what are the chokes as manufactured and what are they now?

why did you sell it?

would you reccomend it as a "starter" or shooter for a sxs newbee?

TIA

Todd, I think I got most of your questions in my pm. Don't know what the original chokes were--they were not marked on those guns. Didn't sell it because of any problems. Had intended to keep it around as a "rainy day" pheasant gun, something I'd probably just leave behind the pickup seat during the season, but found something I liked better for that purpose. Good luck!

Called - waiting to hear back

didn't haggle price hard, not worth missing out for the price of a modest dinner and drinks

Thanks all Gentlemen for your information and interest.

Now...where can I find a old pipe?
