Default A 300 Dollar day

Dove season 2023 opened in Arizona today. It was an on and off rainy and windy day which is very unusual considering our current drought conditions. Attached are photos of my newest acquisition which I decided to try out. The gun did its job and shot the low-pressure 2 7/8" smokeless powder RMC brass shells perfectly. It even allowed me to shoot the first triple of my life! I couldn't help wondering though, when was the last time this 1875 Parker was shot, and who did the shooting?

Oh my, what a beautiful gun, post more pictures.
Like Randy, I was out at my farm cutting grass, checking out tree stands and food plots. I did have a 30" 20 ga Scottish hammer gun in the truck, but only saw 3 or 4 doves fly over.
