Larry, that is one nice firearm, I'm not sure I would take it out too often either. What a beauty, congrats!

Other than Chuck Brunner and possibly Steve Cobb there's not another dealer I feel comfortable dealing with.
I just purchased a DHE 28 from Steve Barnett Fine Guns and the transaction was flawless. I have a couple of guns for sale with them now and feel very comfortable dealing with them going forward.

Sold almost all of my nice ones and am adding those that have been customized and cobbled with. For some reason I have always like the customized ones over original condition..only two really nice one guns left for sale. A Hamilton Bowen custom Redhawk with all the bells and whistles and my Remington 1894 10 gauge CE. Still buying though and want to try a Marlin 90 and a few others on the list...

I have always liked the Marlin 90. I used to shoot trap with a guy who had a nice 90 and I shot my Parker Bros. DH. We always had fun competing with each other. He was pretty good with that nice 90 and I was pretty good with my DH.

Not actively looking to buy, but, if the right double would show up at the right time? Same for a trade or sale, if the right buyer was looking for the right gun.....? I do have a nice Howa 1500 100% camo in .308 Win that I would be willing to move right now. Even have a lot of ammo to go with it and load data for my reloads the gun loves to consume.

I've never shot a Marlin 90, but Ted Janes, a writer for Outdoor Life, shot a 16 bore. His book "A Boy and his Gun" was my bible back in the day. It was a great story about him teaching his young nephew to hunt. The nephew died in WWII. I still read that book from time to time.

I have this book in my library, but must admit I've only skimmed it. Based on Tom's "review," I think I'll give it a try. Thanks, Tom!

It's worth a read Gary. I got my first copy when I was ten years old. I've wanted to hunt as early as I can remember. That book fascinated me and I read it over and over as a kid. I still like to read it again from time to time. It brings back such wonderful memories of the times when I began hunting. The fact that the boy who was written about died in WWII makes it a poignant story. Lot's of good information for someone starting to hunt. I never tire of that old book.
