You don't look any thinner to me

IF you want to carry a heavy gun than go for it, at the end of a hard day fightening the brambles and the Grouse flushes that lighter faster handeling gun will be very much appreciated.
If you need proof come on up to the U.P. hunting with me
As my wife says for every Jack there is a Jill and for those of us inclined to prefer a heavy gun than by all means carry it, after all it's better than not haveing any gun to carry.
My diet and excersise program is about to begin...I'm going to walk the sporting clays course.....twice
