| My name is Kevin, and I'm a gunaholic. Mostly double guns but will use an auto or pump should the need arise. I recently bought my first 16 -- a Citori Lightning Feather -- and am loving it. In the near future I hope to buy a 16 sxs. What the hell took me so long? |

| Favre and the Pack are doing splendid. I'm a Vikes fan -- grew up in the far western suburbs of the Cities and still have family in the Clara City/Maynard area. |

Just to clarify, your username should be "Wannabe Draht Guy", right Kev? And no, Jake's still not for sale. 
When did you nab the Citori? Tell ya what - I'll help you track down a SxS if you send that Citori my way. We just hafta do it real hush-hush so the wife doesn't know I spent more $$ on guns. Hah! |

Rev - hope I don't need to add arrows to this pic!
BTW, with Drahts, the face is the end that the birds see, the butt is the end that all the other dogs see.

welcome Draht
I am waiting for my newly acquired (from a member of this board) Citori 16. I have all flavors of 16's and a few others but I really like doubles too. This is my first O/U 16 and I'm sure I'll like it. they come highly recommended by some members here. I'm sure you'll enjoy the wealth of information available here and the sometimes boisterous repartee. We all have our opinions and voice them often and without reservation. The one thing we mostly all agree on is the worth of the 16 ga. I plan to break mostly clays with my Citori as the venerable old model 11 is my first choice for gathering table fare. good shooting, and again welcome, mod11rem |

Technically, I'm not a Draht guy yet. Three months or so should change that.
Blaze, I thought I discussed the 16 sneaking into my house with you, must not have. Tell you what, you make it over for the VGP and you can tote the Citori in the grouse woods and kill birds over Jake with it. Of course, you have a new gun of your own. |
