A 12 works well like Destry said, they come up wild and fast at times so you want some gun ...we mostly carry 12 on the barrens up here where we find them because the main quarry is Ptarmigan which are also wild and fast up here ...very much unlike the mainland strain
Here's a pic of typical spot where I would find a snipe ,which I did ...also a pic of Heiko locked up on one (which I didn't get ) they're his favorite bird to point ... |

I just has some minor work done on my DHE 12 duck gun and the smith packed the receiver with grease. He told me that was common in the early doubles used for ducks and is even mentioned in the Parker stock books.
This sounds like a good idea for any double used in the marsh. Anyone knowledgeable about this practice? David |
