A fine gun is in the eye of the beholder
 

My nephew and I took five nice roosters on TG day; I took two with my 16ga Sterlingworth. Woke to intermittent rain - heavy at times - on Friday so my old Stevens 5100 16 came out. Yeah, it's a bit heavier (but not much) and yeah, it's a little crude compared to the Fox, but it felt good - solid, familiar, reliable. It was too warm to stay frozen and got really sloppy; we packed it in at noon. Each knocked one down but lost both :cuss:. I hope the old gun enjoyed being out; I enjoyed carrying it!

Looks like it dried off nicely.

You know, I once took a limit of four wild prairie roosters with four shells out of the right barrel of that old gun. Sometimes I wonder why I ever went looking for anything else... :rolleyes:

I used a Weatherby for a jack handle once. (not a Joke). Was in the middle of nowhere in Oregon with a flat tire a brand new jack in the box with no Jack handle.

you got me beat on this one wayne....charlie...

I'm glad someone came up with a good use for a Weatherby!��
