You, hunt with a WHAT??? WHY????
Finally, I found a place that I’ll NEVER hear that again!
I’m become rather careful about telling people… that I hunt with a 10g(2-7/8”) and NOW a 16g too! Not, quite as nice as the guns I've seen here and heard about. A Browning BPS upland w/24" barrel(Merry Christmas, too me!)
Great place!

Welcome aboard. No need to despair about your shooting iron, we'll have you shooting a Fox or Parker soon enough. Tell us a little bit about your 10 gauge. I'm in the process of putting a 10 gauge LC Smith made in 1886 back into service (Yeah Reverend I said LC Smith) and will be using Sherman Bell's data in a roll crimped 2 7/8th inch case. |

I live just 10 miles or so from Sherman Bell and have hunted with him too!

Newly: Welcome aboard. It does not have to be an American classic, a Brit classic also works. |

TB,
A 10ga?? And a Smitty besides?? And after the grief you gave me for thinking about a 12?? |

Hey Fin you aren't going to send me on a guilt trip about my old 10. This gun was made before the Hunter boys bought out old L C so he could start making typewriters back when men were men and you know about the sheep. Besides everyone should own an 11 pound behemoth with 32 inch barrels for those long shots. |
