Default My new favorite shotgun
After a long drought on shotgun adoptions due to my fondness of Pre64 Winchester M70's I found two recently. Hausmanns yielded a Stephan Grant hammer gun and the Great Northern produced this little jewel, a WR Pape back action hammer gun in 28ga. Barrels are 27 inches choked IC/F, LOP is 14 1/4 and she's a hefty 5lbs.

Ah, yes. Mr. Pape. Known as "the Purdey of the North" as well as the creator of the modern dog show. Any man who likes guns and dogs can't be all bad.

Well I guess I need to come clean too... at Hausmanns a certain 16 ga McKay Brown followed me home and then at the Great Northern Shoot I shoot my best SC score with the McKay and there happened to be a new unfired McKay in 20 ga at the shoot As you can see this is not a good combination plus then I have COB pointing out all of the good points of the McKay 20 on Friday night and I was doomed So yes it came home with me now the Fox FE 20 ga is going to have to go on the block along with a few others to
So if you know anyone looking for a beautiful CSMC FE let me know.
