Richard,

I also really like those #1 frame 12s. I have an all original GH 12 on a #1 frame that weighs 7 lbs. and it's research letter confirms the weight (with its 30 inch Damascus barrels and very full chokes). I often wonder about the guys who ordered these guns and what they had in mind for them.

Good flying!

I guess they just wanted to avoid cripples and make sure their birds were dead when they hit the ground.

I used to think I couldn't hit anything with full chokesbut I shocked myself at Addieville last week when I shot my GH 12 with .042" and .043" chokes and shot one of my best SC scores ever.

Looks to me to be a perfect turkey gun!
