Holding the gun up is worse than recoil. That's why I shoot a ten pound eight gauge. It weighs less than my Krieghoff skeet gun.

Mike, the bargain basement Greener you mention is not a real W.W.Greener. To enter the eight gauge shooting game, you may have to pay a bit more. However, there are good eights out there for reasonable prices.

I'll definitely be watching that and probably watch that and the ruger 44 carbine fly past the suggested selling price. Those two are under

Just registered and bid on the 8Ga. I don't want to get caught up in a bidding frenzy but would like to join the 8 Ga. ranks.

$3000. total includes the BP. I hope the new owner shoots it at one of the 8ga events this year. All makers can be shot at the 8ga events, American or English, hammer or hammerless.

Was on the road and forgot all about it. I put a bid in at $1500 with the intention of watching it go thru. That BP sure does add up!
