I will throw my two cents in. I think what attracts me to long barrel small bores is that there just aren't that many. I have a 30" 00 frame VHE 28 gauge that is the sweetest little thing ever. I have been looking for a long time for the same gun in a G, or D and they just don't seem to materialize which makes the attraction even greater. Maybe it is the "why do you want what you know you can't have" syndrome??

I shot Daryl's VHE 28 30" at Hausemann's in June . Little thing will roll up some targets at distance if I do my part !

Same here Craig. When I'm firing on all 8 cylinders that little gun is like a magic wand. She's so damn easy to shoot and shoot well.

It's not only that Reggie but I've always loved the 20 and 28 gauges and although there aren't that many I have been lucky in finding 30 and 32 in. smallbores that are just fun to shoot and not once have I felt handicapped by them on the clays course or in the field.

I managed to get in 2 rounds of sporting clays with this gun, what a treat it was. I shot it well, not far off my 12 gauge game actually on a fairly testy course. It is now in the hands of Fed Ex on its way to Mr. Dudley with a pretty darn nice stock blank IMO. Attached is a not so good pic of the blank the prior owner had sent me via text. And so the inevitable wait that goes along with a project such as this begins.
