russ i think you would enjoy the old 8 ga there lots of fun to shoot and the joy of owning one is priceless..i enjoy handing some one of the old 8 ga s and shell and listening to there comments on them...most will say they never knew they built any thing bigger than a 10 ga.then they will say bow how heavy these things are...and then they will say i would not shoot that thing because it would kick you down... but there wrong on the kicking part even with heavy loads they are not bad kickers...the round ball load i load with 40 grains of blue dot and the 2 ounce ball is a pleasure to shoot...a lite 20 ga with heavy field loads kicks worse by far... now i load smokeless powder only i m sure if you loaded a 8 ga with some of those 7 drams of black powder of yester year it would kick pretty good..charlie
