I am in the midst of some new construction which set the stage for my evening to be interrupted by a contractor. I did scan through it, looks like some interesting articles. A big thank you to the Editors !!

Dad and I are in South Dakota getting ready for our first day of hunting. My wife said it came yesterday. I usually read it the day it arrives. Now for some patience but at least I will have something to distract me in the meantime.

I've been wondering about that since the blurb inside says it has 2-7/8" chambers ...

2 7/8" chambers which would have been intended for 3" shells I believe Phil.

Don, you could always have the Mrs. read it to you over the phone. Just sayin'.

Thanks Bill. We would not be able to put this fine magazine together without the contributions from our esteemed members and that is where the thanks should be directed. Not ones to shy away from a pat on the back, but we also give credit where credit is due.

Unless it's a 10 gauge, then 2 7/8" chambers were intended for 2 7/8" shells.

The gun in question is a 12 bore Pete.

Great issue. I particularly enjoyed Harry's book review. Babcock is my favorite "outdoor" writer and I have read most of his books, but not "The Education of Pretty Boy." Now I've got to pick up a copy and find out just what happens and who stole that dog. Thanks Harry for a wonderful article.
