I think the she’s going to make a great handicap gun. I like a full choke but this one may be a little too tight for 16 yard singles.

Annie Oakley - backup to the parking lot kind of trap gun and what a beauty.

Your a lucky guy John! Great gun, I'm sure you will enjoy shooting it.

A fabulous SBT and a Purdey as well!
.046" choke constriction :shock:... there's your new turkey gun John!

We need to hear how it shoots - we'll give you a day or two.:whistle:

Congrats John!

As I suspected, she's a little tight for 16 yard singles. No room for error but when you are on them they disappear. She won't be replacing the Parker SB in singles. A little more drop and cast off than I like but an Accu-riser cheek rest takes care of both problems. Incredibly well balanced and the assisted opening Purdey mechanism is amazing. Most certainly a handicap gun. Really seems to like the RST trap loads in 7 1/2. The gun is nitro proofed for 1 1/4 oz. loads.

100 ounce and a quarter shots would probably get your attention!

Dean Romig 12-02-2020 05:17 PM

John, you really need to show up at Hausmann’s in 2021 and shoot the Bo-Whoop looong range single targets with that Purdey.

That would be the Letterman Cup. I don't think anyone has won it with a Purdey yet. Best bet is to look for a Fox SBT so you can really up your game.:whistle:
