My new favorite shotgun
 
5 Attachment(s)
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.

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:

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.

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.
