I'd say my best trap shooting gun is my 1883 vintage 32" twist bbld F/F grade O hammer gun. Definitely far and away my best long range shotgun. Second would likely be my 30" F/F damascus DH12.

This was mine.

If found, return it to its rightful (and foolish) owner.

My favorite is my SC 34”. Crushes targets. I use either 3/4 or 7/8 oz handloads as my shoulders won’t tolerate sustained recoil of standard shells. Next favorite is a garden variety VH 12 30” full and fuller. Same deal with shells. The VH has very modern dimensions.

Sweet gun Mr. Davis. I like the Defiance Trap Load from the US Cartridge Co. in the pic. I recently picked up a box of their Climax and Ajax loads. I think the Ajax was the high brass and the Climax was the medium brass. Defiance was a good name but marketing should have spent a little more time on the other 2 IMO. :)

Randy, Bachelder had my SC for a year trying to put in a release. He said it would work most of the time but that wasn't good enough for him or me.
