I'm awful partial to Dad's old Stevens 311. It's off getting the cracked stock fixed right now actually and getting a NOS Redhead recoil pad to replace the much rotted Upland that he originally installed. And then #2 on the list would probably be my 1st year Remington Autoloading Shotgun.
Dad and I are doing a project on his old gun while I'm home for my birthday if I can get it back in time. He replaced the tenite buttstock in the early 60's but left the funky woodgrained plastic forend. We, well more he with me playing spectator, are going to make a walnut one for it. I could have it done by some gunsmith but having Dad do the work makes it special ya know. We figured it's time for an upgrade after 40+ years. Destry

It would have to be my Grandad's, Father's, and now my 1894 Remington. Bought new in 1902, revitalized by Turnbull in 2006 (it was pretty rough and my late father wanted it restored). CEO grade.

I have a little Lefever 16 ga that I really like, followed me home from the Vintagers one year..... Fits me well so when I shoot poor with it (ie Lapeer shoot), it is the operator not the gun

It would be my little german drilling (16 x 16 gauge, over 9.3x72R rifle barrel).
I would do better with a little more drop at the comb, but if I keep my face firmly planted on the stock, it'll do it's part. ...just a neat as hell, lightweight little gun with nice engraving and a rear sight that pops up out of the rib when you push the selector on the tang. If I was smarter, I'd post some pics - it's really neat ! |

John, How does that little gun (rifle) handle a full load from the 9.3?

Fred, a full load from a 9.3X72 is about 15 fps faster than a light load from the same cartidge. I love the cartridge, but it isn't a barn burner.
