Curious after My Perazzi Post
I original started as a Side X Side 16 gauge Hunter/Collector but over time have metamorphosed into more of a clay shooter especially after retirement. Hence the selection of shotguns in my vault has changed: Parker-Fox-Smith-Lefever into various Browning Superposed and B-25. I still enjoying hunting upland game with my 16 gauges over dogs, but I shoot substantial more shells each year with my Brownings.
So my number of Shotguns in the vault by number: 1. Brownings 2. Foxes 3. Parkers 4. 1 or 2 of multiple other makers Based on number of guns and shells how would rank your shotguns? |
1. Parker
2. Parker 3. (A distant 3rd) “Other” Note: No clays were harmed in establishing this ranking (but a few wild birds were brought to bag.):) |
1. Parker
2. Browning 3. Beretta 4. Perazzi 5. Ithaca 6. Other |
Equal numbers of 1 and 2...working on bringing the rest up to snuff..
1. Parkers 2. CSMC's 3. Winchester 4. Fox |
1. Remington
2. Parker 3. Krieghoff 4. Winchester |
I am odd in that I am not a serious shotgun shooter. I really shot a lot when Sporting first became accessable and always shot skeet and trap as a social thing, often quite a bit. In competition, I always preferred the Beretta but shot Brownings more. Go figure.
I always loved hunting but it too was a lot social. I tend to shoot most guns reasonably well and gravitated toward smallbores; 16 and 28 doubles hold a special place. The gun I shoot most is generally the last one I bought. I tend to like them old and pretty with a lot of nostalgia. Rifles are different with me. I was always a rifleman at heart. My criteria was always quality, looks and function. Above these was always accuracy. I used to build a lot of customs and have never owned a lot of stock rifles. I do have and shoot a few though, all very accurate or they left. When I shoot competition rifle, there is only one goal and that is the most accurate gun I can bring to the line. I have won three national championships and they were shot with some beatup looking Heinz 57 guns that rotated in and out with changes. |

SXS's mostly 16's and 20's, O/U's 12 and 20's. I prefer straight over pistol grip
