Thanks gents for all the replies. Just got back from a day's drive and have added to the arsenal. Of the additions, a well experienced and well maintained GHE will be my gun of choice to bust clays. It is hefty so I know I'm carrying a gun with this one. It swings and mounts nicely. The damascus is nice. Barrels were sent to England years ago and came back on the brown side not black. It was also proofed and stamped BNP 3 1/4 ton/sq.in. I think I will also give it the honors for opening day roosters. Previous owner kept a game diary for this gun and there were a lot of meals provided.
I will enjoy the clay day. I'll be going over your replies a few times before the shoot (June 5)
Thanks again,
Jack
