A shooting buddy was given a Browning recoiless trap to test and it just plain didn't work. End of that test.

Life is too short to shoot an ugly gun

I'd have to see a picture of one to believe it's uglier than that Browning I pictured.

Been thumbing through old Sporting Classics before they get recycled and found this in March/April 1988 from our late friend --

I actually think that Winchester 87 is kinda sexy for some reason.

I can't seem to help myself, but I was looking at an old Julia's catalog on a search for a very beautiful shotgun, and stumbled across this fine Union --

A couple modern shotguns come to mind when you say Ugly Shotgun.

First what Savage did to the model 24 by selling the model 42.....

Second, Benelli Nova's. I actually bought these for my sons, as their first shotguns because they are basically indestructable, but have to admit they are pretty ugly too.

Pictured is the Savage 42, not purely a shotgun I guess.....
