Rainy day/ beater
alright, what do you carry when the weather gets ugly and nasty--you know, those rainy, sleety days when you think twice about carrying one of your nice guns, and debate whether you should be out yourself.
Mine used to be a Fox A grade 16 that had zero bluing, no cc, and the wood was as gray as an old fence post. It also had an old ill-fitting whiteline recoil pad. I loved that old gun and finally had the barrels reblued, the wood refinished, a new leather covered recoil pad, but did not recase it as it has a nice silver patina. Now its a lovely gun and is no longer my rain/beater. That title now belongs to an old Zoli Gray Eagle 20 ga OU w/ double triggers. Someone bent the top lever-don't know how or why. It has an old slip on rubber recoil pad, and I did do a quick refinish of the wood this winter. It wouldn't bother me to hunt that gun thru hell and back.
What do you carry?
