Very nice lisnalee, I love the wood grain in the stock. Is it just me or do engravings look far more classy without the gold leafing?
ty
I dont mind either way, I think that more expensive guns have gold in the engraving. Mine didnt cost that much as i only wanted a cheap first gun. Next time i might go for a bit of gold trimming

I heard that having gold plating makes you shoot 30% straighter.

A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper,..a jock. So I tell 'em I'm a pro jock and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama himself. The Twelfth son of the Lama; the flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So i'm on the first tee with him, I give him the driver; he hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long...into a ten thousand foot crevasse right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says: (pause) 'Gunga Galunga... gunga, gunga-lagunga.' So we finish the 18th and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, 'Hey, Lama, hey. How about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know?' And he says, 'Oh, uh, there won't be any money. But when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.' So i've got THAT going for me. Which is nice."

Skeet and other clay games may be good practice, but bird huntin' is the thing. Spaniels, the woods, boots that fit, a beautiful October day and guns that will pattern whatever shot charge your game calls for. Mostly for us it's grouse with an ounce of 7 1/2s through the 20 bore tube of a light, quick, short gun. I've got Winchester 101s in 20 and 12, Grade 2 English straight stocks, fixed IC/IM and IC/M, a Classic Doubles 201 (think Winchester 23), Grade 2 English straight stock, fixed IC/IM, but in recent years, my Benelli M1 20 gauge has been getting the nod. Very durable, fits me like a glove, and allows fast followups through the same IC tube. Allows me to "IPSC" the fleeing grouse.

I havent tried any bird hunting yet, not many places near me offer it, but i do a lot of rabbit shooting.
The clays are great for practicing your aim and reaction time etc but nothing beats the real thing.
Just cleaned my other shotgun so thought I'd throw a pic up.
Have you guys seen that fully automatic shotgun that's in development for the military? The thing is pretty dang scary, here's the link if you haven't.

Years ago, I invested in the original version of that shotgun, but nothing came of it at the time. I found out later that it had too many small, delicate parts. The redesign may work. I wish them well, and may yet buy one if they ever reach the civilian market.

You can keep that AA-12; it looks like a heavy brick. A shotgun should be capable of being quickly pointed to hit fast small targets.
But I will take of couple cases of each of the three flavors of those cute little finned grenades for my 12 gauge Benellis. Pull! Boom! BOOM!! YEE-HAW!
