Bo Whoop on Beaver Dam Video

[OH Osthaus]

lifting the stock actually seems more awkward - especially in a duck blind or clay station box - since the barrels are pointing down (or else the shells fall out )

raising the barrels results in a gun naturally in a safe ready to shoot position

my nit pick was that there was no thumb on the lever to let it close gently

Precisely Rick!

Regardless of how one chooses to close his gun (or in this case, a valuable borrowed gun) it is most important to close it gently - not forcefully as may often be the temptation in an exciting hunting situation.

But then, 'to each his own' in closing a fine gun. Watch this clip and note how David Trevallion closes Parker No. 168304 "The Czar's Parker."

I would be hesitant to tell David how to close a fine gun....
