I'm sure we're going with SxS for the opener, but the OUs shot pretty well today. Started with my VH12, 1 1/2 and finished up with a Browning 20.
Dale started out with his Webley Scott 28, and finished with his Kimber 20. A bit slower today, but still a great time. We'll go with 410 and 28 for the opener. Need to start loading.

Few years back I’d go out on the dove opener with a Superposed 12 skeet and a Westley Richards 12 BL also very open and switch back and forth . I never had an issue .

Thx Bill, it's a wonderful shooter. 1st year 20. I have another 4th year solid rib 20 that's in wonderful condition.

Chris, I also have a first year 20, serial number 636 as I recall. What is your serial number?

Garry, Opening Day means Mourning and White wing at the crack of dawn! Then take a break, sip coffee and start on the Eurasion! Here in AZ we can usually limit in 1/2 hr.
Bill, I think my Browning is #142? I'm not near it now.

Bill, this is my other 4th year 20 with a solid rib. I think its#3442? Both guns are 26 1/2" barrels. This is M/F. The other is IC/M.

That's a sweet 20 Chris. I would love to find one like that in 28" ( I don't think they made them with 30" tubes). Tough choice O/U or SxS. Either way you can't go wrong.:bowdown:

Life is good, but it comes with a price!
Thanks Daryl, always fun to take a break from the SxS, and these Brownings are the ones to do it with! I like the early ones myself. They feel narrower all the way around.
I'll shoot both again this weekend I think, along with the Parker 20s.
