Put up seven
 

But only nailed 3, a fourth was hit and sick but we never recovered him,the last bird was pointed just yards from the pick up ,Heiko was pointing on the downside of the trail about 12 feet ...one step off the trail and the bird blew out so close to me I felt its wings on the back of my coat:shock: ...must've walked right over him !!!,never did see where it headed (too busy cursing )

CH 16 ,Gamebore 7 1/2 shells

Chris ,Congrats on a good day out ! Bernards or Steel ,would love to see close ups of your C Grade Parker !:corn:

looks like a mighty good day for me and i had a good smile on my face reading of the bird getting away... i m with russ would like to see more of the c grade... charlie

It's an original 30 inch Bernard 12 gauge on a #1 frame,I have a set of 28 inch 16 gauge steel barrel's fit to the gun for grouse ,I'll try for better pics

Me too. That is a beautiful piece of wood on that gun.

Nice job Chris:)

Chris I have the same combination but in reverse. My gun is a CHE 16 Bernard with a second set of Bernard ejector barrels in 12ga fitted to it. It is also a #1 frame but unlike yours I can't hit a damn this with it:eek:

I think you need to give it back.

The chokes on the 16 bbls were full and full, when hunting Ptarmigan I seemed to always scratch down a bird on the second shot ,when out for grouse it never worked ...so I opened them both to improved and never looked back

Can't fault you on that Chris. Them scrubapple thicket-dodgers can always use a bit wider pattern.

Give???:nono: The gun is choked cyl/full a combination I have grown to appreciate lately on Pheasants but this one just doesn't fit. The previous owner told me he couldn't shoot it well either. This time next year when I retire it will be the first one to go to help feather the nestegg.

Rich, I always shot that gun just fine... I don't know what's wrong with you and the former owner... :corn:

Its to small in the wrist for me. The distance from the nose of the comb to the safty isn't very long and it's just hard to hold on to.

Save your money and you can buy it next year:rotf:

All ribbing aside ,I just got back from the same cover with the new pup ...and he just pointed his first grouse, three points actually before the bird went to wing ,not shot offered unfortunately ...and the camera was at home:crying:

But talk about stylish! three corkscrew points , 12 0'clock tail ,the works ... I couldn't be happier !

That's terrific Chris! That's the reward!

Amen Dean!

don t forget the camera next time...sounds like the pup has got that pointing figured out...charlie

3 grouse is a good number.
