The Dove Hunt Thread

[Double Lab]

Jerry;
I have a couple 16 Foxes and they seem to like 7/8oz. and 3/4oz. better than the 1oz. loads. I know my shoulder does. If you don't reload, try RST's Falcon Lite in 7/8oz. 7 1/2's. Nice looking Fox. Are they 30" tubes?

I load all of my shells for my doubles. I have patterned it and it does well with the one ounce load which I had worked up and tested for psi. I just don't shoot this gun well. They are 28" barrels. This was another rescue gun I found in a shop, in rough shape. I rust blued the barrels, trigger guard, triggers, etc. and polished off the hot blued receiver, had cracked stock repaired, recut and refinished. Lots of effort into the gun and that's why I was using it. With enough doves, one can kill their limit with any gun whether one shoots it well or not!

autos. Hunting legal at daybreak today but could not get up. Only had two and a half hours to hunt when I got there so I cheated with John Browning's design that he said gave him more trouble than any other gun, leaving VH 16 in the truck. Still the best auto ever made and I love them. Took the old 12 bird limit and quit.
