The Three Amigos
 

From left to right, the present lineup for trap. SAA upgrade, 34 inch barrel, handicap; SA, 32 inch barrel, singles; CHE, 30 inch barrels, doubles.

As dandy a triumvirate of purpose driven guns as I could imagine. More chapters to come, no doubt. :bowdown:

John did you acquire the CHE at Hausemanns in June this year ? Or rather is that the gun you showed me when we were on the course there ? All very very nice :cool:

Deadly

That’s the one.

John just an absolutely stunning collection. I would love to see them in person someday!!!!


Thank you so much for sharing.

Concerning the SBT's which do you prefer, SG or PG ?

I seem to recall that CHE being a VR gun as well, nice !

SG or PG? That's a tough one. As a general rule I would say I prefer a PG but the straight stock works with this one. And yes, the CHE has a vent rib and a single trigger. The CHE is choked Mod (.020) and Light Full (.030). It's suppose to be a back up to my GHE but she's out of commission at the moment, so the CHE is now in the starting lineup. The GHE and CHE are virtually identical, except for the triggers.

Does the CHE have vent rib I cannot remmember ? Since I got the VHE 32” vent rib trap I’ve kinda gotten back into the single trigger mode a bit . Well it and the two VHE skeet guns . I usually shoot them pretty decent .

It does have a vent rib.

Classy! I hope you sport a coat and tie when you shoot that lineup; they deserve a bit of formality :)!

So the CHE has moved into the starting rotation?

At least until I get the GHE back.

John, what is the problem with the GHE and where did you send it for correction?

The forend barrel lug is loose, again. I sent it to Bill Schwarz. He says he’s got fix for it.

I had Giacamo do a forend barrel lug once on a VHE 12 and have not since had issue . And about two years ago Breck Gorman fixed the forend barrel lug on my PH 8 and haven’t had issue with it either .

I think the problem is the number of doubles rounds I run through her. It’s rather demanding.

I see the Three Amigos made the cover page photo for this month. Very appropriate, I might add

I wasn't expecting that. Thank you John Dunkle.
