What is the best firearm you ever owned?

Probably my CH 16 made in 1898. 1 frame. Sold to Dave W. a few years ago. Had damascus barrels and an amazing stock. Probably should have never sold it, but it was choked tighter then I liked and at that point I was moving into the A. H. Fox world.

I’d love a Paradox don’t care if it’s an 8 , 10 , 12 or 16 any would do ! And as long as it’s a decent maker not worried about that either .

In my post on the first page of this thread I mentioned my Win 101 and I realized I have not shot it in some time. So, last evening I got it out and shot 5-stand with it. A walk down memory lane and it did not let me down. I left the range with a big smile on my face.

I love my old Parkers but my Perazzi MX28 is a dream. It weighs 6 pound 4 ounces with 29" long barrels and has factory choke tubes and steel shot okay with 3" chambers, all I shoot are 2 3/4" 3/4 oz. loads for clays and hunting but I am going to buy some 3" non toxic shot so I can hunt decoying ducks this fall. I can hunt everything upland with it except wild roosters that won't hold for my setter, for that I use my model 21 16 gauge.

I know how you feel about the MX28. It is a wonderful gun.

I shot a High Tech and that's a gun I could fall in love with easily. Basically I haven't picked up a Perazzi that I didn't like.

As soon as I read this my Dad's model 71 Winchester in 348 came quickly to mind. I can shoot this offhand better than my other rifles. It is almost like he is somehow helping me steady it.....

My 1967 Browning Superposed Pigeon Grade Trap, FKLT 30" barreled gun with the narrow 8MM vent rib and original Browning factory recoil pad. I bought it used; the stock was completely unaltered from factory specs (incredible for a trap gun!) and was straight as an arrow: 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 x 14 1/4. Incredibly lively gun, easy to move and shot exactly where it looked. I shot it hard on bunker trap (Olympic/International trap) for 10 years then traded it when I stopped competing in registered shoots. If I ever have a chance to buy it back in the same condition I will own it again. What a wonderful gun!
