My friend, and mentor on pigeon shooting offered me a step ribbed Fabbri for $35k, which I should have jumped on. Could have made a hundred grand on that deal, but who knew they would make such a jump in value.
The last I heard that gun sold for 135k, and is now higher than p-tang on a Ferris wheel.
BTW, on a first barrel load, you should try a 1 1/8 oz load, and the standard pigeon load for the second barrel.
Pigeons often require a lightening fast second barrel.

I shoot to fast now LOL’s . Sometimes I don’t release the single trigger on my VHE enough to let it reset . Happened twice at the last shoot . Never had this issue at Colombaire , sporting or doubles trap . But in each of those I don’t try to shoot anywhere near as quick . In January of 2023 for boxbird quail I tried 1 1/8 of #8’s in the right barrel and a regular pigeon load in the left and wasn’t pleased . Saturday I’ll try my handload sporting loads which are pretty much the standard 1 1/8 target load in the right barrel and hammer loads in the left .
