    Benelli 828 U

    I bought one about 3 years ago. I did get an exceptional deal on it. Somebody with too much money paid about $700 to take one shot with it and decide he didn't like it. I think it is a decent gun for the money I paid for it. I have the model with the silver receiver. It is adjustable...

    12ga. Remington 1100 too heavy?

    Jaquas (Jaquas.com) has a Fabarm L4s Grey Hunter (used) for $1195. Go to their Gun List in the main menu. Choose Field, 12 gauge, Fabarm, and Used in the search fields. My 1100 with a 26 inch barrel is 8 pounds. My L4s Initial Hunter is 6 3/4 pounds with a 28 inch barrel. They are very easy...

    New Sweet Sixteen vs Old Sweet Sixteen

    Gunbroker prices are all over the place. Jaqua's had 3 Sweet Sixteens in stock recently. A nice mat rib barrelled IC went for $1595. They had two others with solid ribs for $1295. I got the one with the modified barrel. It was built in 1953 and had been restored. During the restoration...

    New Sweet Sixteen vs Old Sweet Sixteen

    Art's Gun Shop listings. https://www.gunsinternational.com/advanced-search-results.cfm?cdn_bp=1&rct=733&start_row=101 Should give you an idea of what it is worth. The Sweet Sixteens start on page 7.

    Herters 16 ga. Shells at Cabelas

    These are images of Herter's 1 1/8, 7 1/2 1280 fps loads from an A5 Sweet Sixteen (new A5) through a DS Trulock IC Precision Hunter Choke. The first pattern was at 30 yards and the second at 40. For put and take birds the combination should be sufficient. I had similar results with the...

    New O/U

    IMO, the Winchester 101 Ultimate Field is the best bargain in an OU at the price point. Very well built gun. Not fancy, but functional. Belgium build, but assembled in Portugal. I got tired of lugging around an 8 pound OU. So, last year I bought both the 101 and the Orion. The 101 has become...

    Winchester 101 Field

    I have the 101 Field from Bass Pro. Last year it became my go to gun for everything. Recoil is not an issue.

    Light Weight 20 O/U

    Between Sportsman's Warehouse, BPS, and Cabelas there should be steel framed 20 gauge OU's that run between 6.2 and 6.5 pounds to test the fit. The Beretta SP 1 is usually around 6-6.2 pounds. The Cynergy is 6.2 to 6.5 depending on barrel length. If you are right handed and cast doesn't...

    Light Weight 20 O/U

    I would contact https://www.joeletchenguns.com/. Your Winchester 101 is neutral cast and I'd bet your Baikal has a lot of cast off. The Winchester probably fits you better. Brownings are cast neutral and Etchen might also have something in a Beretta SP 1 that would fit you. I too have the...

    Lefty Over Unders

    :thumbsup: about Joel Etchen Guns. The last three posts were spot on. I got one of the 690 Field IIIs. Ordered it just before 5 on Friday. Shipped Monday. My FFL agent got it today. Will complete the transfer tomorrow. Good company to work with and very good prices on better quality guns.
