In reality the perfect Grouse gun is the one I'm carrying at the time I'm hunting Mr. Grouse  |
Rich,
You are on target with those gun and especially choke choices. We differ only slightly with gauge preferences. I love those open chokes for the early season alders.....there's nothing like ruining the resale by opening chokes to make a gun perfect!
