Early bird gets the gun.

[Phil C]

I got up early this morning to go hunting but before I headed out I saw I had an alert for a gun for sale on a local forum.
The posting listed the sale of a Browning Superposed 28 gauge made in the 1960’s. Also it stated that pictures would be posted later and also said it was rather used but locked up tight.
The price seemed about in line with a heavily used 20 gauge. Not being aware of what a 28 gauge would bring I took a chance and I said I would take it.
Others said they were interested but would wait for pictures. I have missed out on some great guns by hesitating.
I received a text later in the morning that the gun was mine.
Luckily the owner was only about 15 miles as the crow flys, from where I was hunting. Or 1 1/2 hours if the crow is driving a 4x4 truck deep in the hills.
Driving out I spotted 6 Javalina managed to shoot one.
I am now the proud owner of a Superposed 28 gauge.
This Superposed is much nicer than I expected. RKLT, stock is uncut and no cracks. Perfect bores 26 1/2” barrels choked M& F. It was made in Belgium in 1966.
Im still trying to gather data on this gun. It seems that there were not a lot of these made. I can't wait to try it out on some Eurasians, and some pen raised Chucker’s.
I will try to post a picture tomorrow.
