We would pretty much meet any request of our guests . We even hunted quail during a storm once because they wanted to stay out in the field a bit longer lol. One of the plantations someone mentioned in another thread , their website said they would allow any gauge . I doubt they imagined someone showing up with a 40" 12 ga or a 8 gauge for quail . I wonder if anyone here has used the short 10 ga for quail ? The standard load most of our guests used was the cheap rios in 20 ga and #7.5 shot I think it was . However one time we had some boxes of #9s get mixed into the case and they resulted in a higher kill ratio . So they were arguing with each other who was going to get to use the rest of the #9 loads . The quail hunting landscape here has greatly changed since last year because of the hurricane we lost a great deal of pine trees . So now the quail hunting areas are alot more wide and open . Has anyone had a set of W.&C. Scott damascus barrels refinished ? I would think they would come out looking pretty nice like the American barrels . |

Milton,
This is a 10gauge W&C Scott, but it isn't inexpensive http://www.ospreyarms.com/product/w-...ier-hammergun/. Ken |

7lbs just sounds odd for a 10 ga and I like my 10 ga barrels to be 32" . I think premier is the grade of the shotgun ? Most premiers I've seen are hammerless sidelocks . Those are some tall hammers ! |

Here’s a W. & C. Scott that has not-so-tall hammers. My reprint of the 1890 Lovell Arms, of Boston, MA catalogue advertises two W. & C. Scott guns, each occupying entire and facing pages; one a hammerless, the other, depicted below, a Low Circular hammer gun. Gauges available were 16; 12; 10 and 8. Much is made in the ad copy of the low hammers, as follows: “that the hammers when cocked lay VERY LOW (much lower than on any other hammer gun on the market). For this reason it is preferred by many to a hammerless gun.” The grip type is alluded to by describing the gun as having a “Pistol Stock”, which today is more fashionably associated with Albert Edward, Prince of Wales (1841-1910).
