Guns are to men (real men not those hippie tree hugging wimps) what shoes are to women. How many do you have? More than I need not as many as I want! I like to break it down this way, early Grouse season a DHE 26 inch 20ga cyl/IC, mid season after some of the leaves are down and the Woodcock are in also a VHE 28 skt/skt, a little later in the season a GH16 0 frame damascuss 28 inch tubes choked .004 & .010. Same theory for Pheasants, just different guns...read more guns

Just getting used to "doublegunitis". The Boswell arrived today and it is just a very pretty little gun. It is a 12 ga but it feels light to shoulder. The damascus is quite lovely even if it is English brown. It has been opened up sometime, as the right side plate is proud of the wood. I will resist the urge to play with that - for a while anyway.
Cheers, Jack

I'll try. Pretty shaky on the shutter release these days.
 Rat poison and a daily medicinal ounce of single malt don't mix and not allowed for any reason. New glasses yesterday too, so I don't see the world as I used to. (Just lining up my excuses for out of focus shots)After the robust frames and barrels of the Parkers, this has a "toy like" appearance to me, but I won't stand down range of it. Cheers, Jack
