For the 1963, 4 & 5 seasons my Super-Fox was the only shotgun I owned. My gun weighs 8 3/4 pounds with the original 1928 32-inch full & full barrels. It also has a set of 28-inch Savage-era barrels choked about 1/4 & 3/4 and it weighs a shade over nine pounds with them in place. For those three seasons I lugged it around with the 28-inch barrels after Columbia Basin pheasants. There were a lot of pheasants in those years!! The exuberance of youth!!
Fast forward to 2002 and I was on the Winchester Waterway with my decoys out for ducks. It was a blue-sky day and the ducks were slow. About 8am I saw a rooster fly over the lake and land on the remote west side. So, I rowed across the lake a took a walk and found him. So, one more pheasant with that heavy gun --
