You guys are splitting hairs on grouse gun weight. The last time I was able to walk in the grouse woods, Kevin McCormack and I were hunting north of Greene, New York. I was carrying my favorite Sauer ten gauge loaded with 1 1/8 ounce RSTs and somehow survived.

I took my faithful Chesador named Radar for a walk this morning with a 9 lb 10 oz Super Fox in hand. Before too long I while Radar was sniffing for small animals I was holding the Super Fox in my left hand and pulling weeds from around my young spruce trees with my right. This went on for about an hour until I was quite sweaty. Deciding that was enough we walked back to the house. On the way a pigeon flew into an ounce and an eighth of #8's from the Super Fox. Radar was then a very happy dog!

I appreciate the two light 16's and two 20 gauges that sit in my gunsafe. I just shoot heavy guns better...

IMO, the #1 frame is the best sized Parker frame for most adults.

Bill was that in 1960??:rotf::rotf::rotf:

Mark bring that Super Fox up Grouse hunting.....you wern't shooting them better yesterday:duck::biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh:

You know I'm just giving you a hard time...why?....because I can:whistle:

COB I think that you secretly covet big guns :rotf: I sell you a real Parker 12 gauge pigeon gun and use the money to buy myself a English pigeon gun. What happens? You try to buy that 12 gauge from me :eek: Next you will be trying to buy from me my 36" DH 10 gauge! COB you are not a 16 gauge affectionado as you lead everyone to believe. Admit that you are a closet big bore fan!

Never fear I have NO DESIRE to own a 10:nono: I shot that English gun better than you did and am worried for your overall self esteem at the traps. Besides remember who talked you into that English pigeon gun:whistle:

As much as I like the two #2 frame 12's I have for sporting clays I shoot more with a small bore. I hunt with a small bore and we all know small bores rule:bowdown:

36 " DH 10 gauge?:envy:

Mills just find yourself a nice 30 or 32 inch small bore, you'll be glad you did.

No one really want's a 36 inch barreled 10 they just think they want one, then its a 36 inch 8ga then.....well then your shooting clays with a punt gun:eek:

I have an 8" howitzer on order for sporting clays. I'll use is to take out the traps before I call "pull"!
