    30" Barrels For Upland Hunting?

    I think it depends on what or how you define upland game.Doves,pheasant,prairie grouse,absolutely . Snipe,ruffed grouse,woodcock.I would opt for shorter barrels if for no other reason than I want the balance between my hands not in front,this does not tire my forward hand as much.To be...

    Browning BSS or SKB SXS

    I have a 12 and 20 in bss and a 12 skb model 280 and 200e in a 20. The SKB's are from before the factory closed.They both came with beaver tail forends.I sent them back to the factory and had the forends replaced with splinters. The bss is a much more robust gun.My sporter 12 is 7 3/4 lbs My skb...

I have shot hundreds of shells over the years and my opinion is that they are very very good shells. .Ive also shot...

    Franchi Instinct

    Why do they keep dropping their ou's every yr or so.How many new models of ou's have they made in the last doz years or so.I have a sxs highlander can't get choke tubes for cause it's discontinued.Never had a problem with a Franchi product,only with Franchi.

    Browning A5 Sweet Sixteen

    Dakota you hit the nail on the head. As good as the new ones may be they are as much a sweet sixteen Auto 5 as I would be a pro hockey player by merely putting on a jersey.. No offence to anyone but I would not replace my 1950's sweet and my 1969 mag 20 for anything. Between these two guns I...

    Best Location for an Upland Paradise

    I read your "dream" and it was as if I wrote it. I looked and looked for an affordable hunting paradise.My first choice would have been somewhere I could hunt wild pheasant,maybe quail, and also raise my own year round to supplement my property.All in a very affordable package.That in a nutshell...

    Older Double Barrel

    If it's choked imp cyl and mod maybe,with smaller steel shot If it's choked mod full and most definitely not approved for steel shot So you could open the chokes if you really wanted to use steel
