My new favorite shotgun
 

After a long drought on shotgun adoptions due to my fondness of Pre64 Winchester M70's I found two recently. Hausmanns yielded a Stephan Grant hammer gun and the Great Northern produced this little jewel, a WR Pape back action hammer gun in 28ga. Barrels are 27 inches choked IC/F, LOP is 14 1/4 and she's a hefty 5lbs.

Rich, if you get tired of carrying that heavy gun, just send it to NH....I'll PM you my shipping address:rotf:

I'm going to eat healthier and start a work out program so it doesn't become a burden:rotf: When I fail I'll let you know:rolleyes:

Rich ,That Pape Gun is gorgeous !!!!!!!!!! I notice it isn't wearing a Plate what is the Butt Treatment ?

Ah, yes. Mr. Pape. Known as "the Purdey of the North" as well as the creator of the modern dog show. Any man who likes guns and dogs can't be all bad.

Beautiful , Love those sub gauge back action English Hammer guns .

Makes me want take mine out and shoot it .

Russ it has a checkered butt.

You might post a pic of that Steven Grant. Its not fair to teas us.

Well I guess I need to come clean too... at Hausmanns a certain 16 ga McKay Brown followed me home and then at the Great Northern Shoot I shoot my best SC score with the McKay and there happened to be a new unfired McKay in 20 ga at the shoot:eek: As you can see this is not a good combination plus then I have COB pointing out all of the good points of the McKay 20 on Friday night and I was doomed :crying: So yes it came home with me :) now the Fox FE 20 ga is going to have to go on the block along with a few others to :crying:
So if you know anyone looking for a beautiful CSMC FE let me know.

Eric I'm happy to have been of assistance:)

Here is the Grant. A 12ga hammer gun with the Jones under lever, 30 inch barrels choked IC/IC. I shot it very well this am on the SC course with a score of 40.

Mr. Anderson:
A fine gun indeed. You might know I own its twin. Please see your PMs.

Nice gun. They sure new how to put a gun together back then. Really like Jones under leavers.

Here's a couple of the McKay

and a couple of the 16 I really love this gun..... I haven't shot the 20 but I really like the 16 !

All are fine guns gentlemen, Buy the guns you want and shoot when you want, A day will come when you will be glad you traveled that way, I believe that if a man can afford a gun he wants and does not buy it, he should not bitch when he comes back to buy it and it is gone! Just my opinion! gary

All four are absolute beauties but that grant is really something, but like wayne I am an unapologetic lover of jones underlevers.

Gary I agree with your way of thinking. Life is short, if you see it, like it, buy it. That's what I did with the Pape and don't regret it at all. I pondered over the Grant at the Southern but I had bought two high condition and rare Pre 64 M70's. When I decided that the Grant should come live with me it was marked sold and I was disappointed. When I found out the buyer had backed out at Hausmanns I grabbed her immediately and I'm glad I did.

The stock on your Grant looks like it was cut from the same tree as my Boss. Beautiful piece of wood.
