Great. My lifter gun is the softest shooting shot gun I own, a reel joy to shoot.

Wayne, your phoths aren't that bad but could be better. If I may offer a suggestion or two; don't always use flash inside as it puts a glare on the shiny surfaces of the gun. A tripod is invaluable to hold the camera steady. A decent tripod can be found for a pretty reasonable price too. Use a plain back ground. It is hard to pick out the beautiful gun (it is beautiful too) over the print of the bed spread. Unless you are shooting the entire gun I suggest getting closer. Most of your shots are great but could use some tweaking here and there. I hope I have been of some help.

The boss is a 12ga at 6lb 12 oz. The lenth of pull is 13 7/8 witch is a tad short for me but I still shoot it pretty well. Seems to fit well. The gun has new nitro proofs on it but I beleve I will shoot rst lights through her for the sake of the stock.

A fantastic Boss! If I were you, Wayne, I'd see if I could find its records from Boss. You may be very surprised at its original owner...

The Boss has an oval in it. It looks to me like a crest engraved in it. I have already been on the Boss siteand they want seventy five pounds plus the VAT. Dose anybody know what the VAT is.

VAT is 'Valued Added Tax'. It varies somewhat, but is generally about 17 1/2%. You shouldn't have to pay it as you are not in the UK.

Thanks Edger.
