32" vs 30"

[Kevin McCormack]

Daryl has it right - we had a discussion at the Baltimore Show about the latent frenzy and mystique of the 20 ga. 32" guns, Parker, Fox, whatever. For 2-3 years I told everyone I suspected would encounter a 32" 20 ga. Fox Sterlingworth to alert me and I would pay what I had to pay for one. No Joy - so when the ex- Dana Tauber AE Fox 20 ga. 32" custom stocked gun came up in the last Julia Auction, I said to myself, "an AE to boot; GO FOR IT!! Moves and handles like a fine Tonkin cane flyrod, and lights up those targets!

Now find me a 34" 20 gauge DH and there would be no hesitation.

Well now I know where it went Kevin. I was on the phone bidding on that one right to the end, the very end. Hope you enjoy but if you should ever become shall we say "disenchanted" with it shoot me a PM,seriously....

FYI Mark Conrad has a very nice DHE 20 ga 2 barrel set, 28" & 32" for sale and he recently lowered his price. Not a lot of condition but a nice gun.

Thanks David but while the 2 barrel sets are appealling I always end up shooting one set while the other never gets used so I have "tried" to steer myself away from them. That and I have am lucky enough to have a 32" DHE 20 already.

Todd, I would love to hunt with Jim Justice. Can you get me in?

[C.O.B.]

This one has it all, a ton of condition, 32 inch barrels, vent rib and it's a 16ga

Oh my Rich. That's a dandy combo. #1 frame possibly ? One more thing, you neglected to say what you wanted for it.

You and me both, along with the rest of the love of grouse hunting world. I think he spent a lot of time effort and money to setup and manage his little piece of grouse hunting heaven. Unofficial rule I gathered on his property is that hunting roughies is reserved for him.

When I was with him he was just starting his run up for Governor, but when grouse hunting came up, you could tell that was a real passion for him. I think quietly if he can during his stint he will try and promote more habitat management since I think he gets the way it should be done. But they do have other things to worry about in WV other than grouse hunting.
