look what I found in my gun safe

[Dean Romig]

Of the small bore Franchi's I've shot (never wanted to own one) I found them all to be pretty light and the shooter, not the gun's mechanism, absorbs the recoil. Not much fun to shoot feathered game with and they must be worse when shooting clays.

So true Deano. I had a Franchi o/u 20 that was light as a feather and was a fantastic quail gun. But it literally beat the snot out of me. Of course that was long before I discovered 3/4oz loads.

By the way Harold, I kinda like Polychoked guns. A few years ago I bought a M12, solid rib 12 with 30"full and a 26" with the adjustable polychoke. I need to shoot it more often, after all it is a classic in it's own right.
