Well got off my butt and got out today and braved the heat.Took my Vh 12ga out for a little shoot at the ranch.Boy what a gun it handles like a dream.Got some low pressure AA's and was really surprised at the patterns this gun can throw.At 25yds it covers a 15" circle completely.Very symmetrical pattern almost a perfect circle.I had a friend with a choke gauge and it read impr.cly but seems a little tighter.I think those AA's with an 1 1/8oz #8's at 980fps will do fine for dove or quail.
Going to breakout the electric thrower tomorrow and give her a good workout.

A nice amount of figure in the stock for an earlier VH.

Yes it has a lot nicer wood than my VH.
Mine had extremely lackluster wood.

The problem with these guns is they shoot as good as they look.Not to mention the stories they could tell.I cannot wait for bird season to start.

We'll could not stand it so I took my nephew and the 12ga VH on a short hunt yesterday for pen raised quail.He was down for a few days for grad. gift from NC.He's new to hunting so starting him out with sxs's.We took turns and got a handful,just enough to hold me over till next season.
Gun handles great with balance so perfect for that much gun.We had another gun along and its just day and night.The other is a Sabatti 12ga which is a small framed gun that handles good.
Anyhow it was good to get out and give the gun a short workout.Temps were in the low 60's for about an hour so we made the most of it.

I really like that gun. Like even better that it took some birds.
