Trulock & Harris with Bird Counter

[Jay Oliver]

Hello Everyone,

I picked up this 10ga. Irish sxs this past week and had a chance to shoot it yesterday at a tower shoot. I saw it over the summer, and loved the bird counter in the stock, something that I had never seen before.

Initially, I wasn't really excited about getting another 10ga as I have a few, but hadn't shot them in a while. So I forgot about this gun. Then a few weeks ago I shot a 10ga. lifter on a sporting clays course and remembered how much fun they are. I bought this gun 2 days later!

It was made in 1897 with 30" fluid steel barrels choked F/F. It has ejectors and a single trigger(non-selective). Pretty advanced for 1897.

I reached out to a few members to help me with 1 1/4 loads. I ended up using 1 1/4oz. #6s with 23grns of Green Dot. This worked well and wasn't stressing the gun at all. I made some long shots. I shot this gun in the afternoon and got the counter up to 15 before it got dark.
